Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and set it aside.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, 4 eggs, food coloring, and vanilla. Mix well until fully incorporated.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix.

5. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 egg until smooth and creamy.

6. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Carefully spoon the cheesecake mixture on top and spread it evenly. Top with the remaining brownie batter, then use a knife to swirl the two batters together.

7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting and serving.

Notes

For a deeper red color, you can add an extra tablespoon of food coloring. These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
