Dec.posted by Paula 79 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Outrageous Red Velvet Brownies, a classic cake is made into rich, dense and delicious brownies. Smother them in cream cheese frosting and they’re dessert perfection.

Red Velvet Brownies made with real chocolate and topped with Crema Cheese Frosting from callmepmc.com, the perfect dessert for the holidays!
This is the ultimate brownie!
Rich. Sinful. Decadent. Awesome.
Great for Christmas.
A MUST for Valentine’s Day!
 Scary goodness on Halloween.
Red Velvet Brownies with Cream Cheese Frosting

Outrageous Red Velvet Brownies

This may just be the perfect brownie. It’s rich, chewy, and has that beautiful, festive red color.
You’ll fall in love with red velvet more and more with each bite. Red Velvet is not quite chocolate and not quite vanilla. It’s a heavenly mixture of both. Think dense vanilla cake with a slight chocolate flavor. Then, when red velvet is paired with sweet, tangy cream cheese frosting, well be prepared to be blown away with this combo!
This is a simple recipe to make. The hardest part is waiting for the brownies to cool before frosting them.

Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 -ounces bitter-sweet chocolate baking bar chopped (like this)
  • ¾ cup butter salted or unsalted, I use this
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 and ½ cups all-purpose flour I use this
  • 1 -ounce red food coloring I use this
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract recommended
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch cake pan with aluminum foil, allowing 2 to 3 inches to extend over sides; lightly grease or spray foil with non-stick spray. (For thicker brownies, use an 8x11.5 cake pan and add an additional 5 minutes to cook time.)
  • Melt chocolate and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl (for melting chocolate tips read here). Whisk in sugar until all combined. Stir in eggs one at a time until just blended. Stir in flour and next 4 ingredients. Pour mixture into prepared pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely on a wire rack (about 2 hours) before frosting.
  • Lift brownies from pan using foil as handles. Gently remove foil. Spread Cream Cheese Frosting* on top of brownies. Cut into squares. Store in refrigerator.

    aside from the red food coloring, what makes this red velvet. Not trying to be rude just trying to understand. Thank you. Lyndy

      Nothing I suppose 🙁 I haven’t thought about these but am in the process of changing another recipe. Thanks for the heads up.

    So wondering to whom added the buttermilk and white chocolate chips, do I just add it to the batter?

      What recipe are you referring to? These Red Velvet Brownies don’t have either of those ingredients.

    There is a glitch in some of my posts, I have corrected the Red Velvet Brownies. Can you let me know any other that you tried and couldn’t pin.

    I just made these today for my church’s Memorial Day cookout. Best Red Velvet Brownie recipe EVER! I omitted the cream cheese frosting because of time constraints. However, I added two tablespoons of buttermilk and half of bag of white chocolate chips.

    I saw this recipe noting it using butter and bittersweet chocolate instead of the usual vegetable oil and cocoa so I had to make it. I’m a huge fan of Trader Joe’s 70% chocolate and had a fresh bar so I had to make it this morning. WOW! Absolutely the BEST Red Velvet Brownie’s by far. I have made lots of them but this made a perfect dense but moist, almost cake but better brownie. I’m looking forward to your posts to try other recipes but this one is definitely a keeper!

      Thanks so much Ken. I, too, tried all the other RV brownies and wasn’t happy. I adapted this from my Rocky Road brownies, which are my favorite. Real chocolate makes a world of difference.

    I just made these tonight because one of my grandson’s really likes Red Velvet cake. These are absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing your recipe for both the brownies and the cream cheese frosting. I’m going to try freezing them since I will have too many to share now but would like to also be able to put them out for New Year’s Eve and Day. I hope that will work. Have you ever tried freezing them before? I probably should have frozen some without the frosting as I’m not sure what will become of the texture of the frozen frosting. I guess I’ll find out!

      I’m so happy you liked them. Reminds me my son wanted me to make more of them. I haven’t frozen these before, but I have frozen cakes with cream cheese frosting and it worked fine. I thawed it in the refrigerator. Have a great holiday, Vicki!
