Preparation of Red Velvet Brownies

Start preparing the red velvet brownies by melting the butter and dark chocolate in the microwave or a bain-marie.

Transfer to a bowl and let it cool slightly, then add the sugar and mix the ingredients with a whisk.
Also add the eggs – one at a time – the vanilla extract and the red gel food coloring.
I chose gel to avoid altering the batter’s consistency too much. If you use liquid, add a teaspoon of all-purpose flour to the recipe’s measured amount.

Set aside the batter and in another bowl mix all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa, and salt.
Combine the dry ingredients with the liquid ones, always stirring with the whisk.
Transfer the batter into a rectangular pan about 11×8 inches and if necessary, level it with a spatula.
Separately, mix 3.5 oz of cream cheese with two tablespoons of powdered sugar.
Add the cheese in spoonfuls onto the brownie batter and create the swirl pattern using a wooden skewer.
