Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (4-ounce) baking bar bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup butter
2 1/4 cups sugar, divided
4 large eggs
1 (1-ounce) bottle red liquid food coloring
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line bottom and sides of a 13- x 9-inch pan with aluminum foil, allowing 2 to 3 inches to extend over sides; lightly grease foil. Microwave chocolate and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring at 30-second intervals. Whisk in 2 cups sugar. Add eggs, 1 at a time, whisking just until blended after each addition. Add food coloring, peppermint extract, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Gently stir in 1 1/2 cups flour and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Pour batter into prepared pan. Beat cream cheese and remaining 1/4 cup sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add egg whites and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla, and beat until blended. Stir in 2 tablespoons flour until smooth. Drop cream cheese mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls over batter in pan; gently swirl with a knife. Bake at 350°F for 30 to 32 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack (about 1 hour). Lift brownies from pan, using foil sides as handles. Gently remove foil; cut brownies into squares.

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, for pan
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup cocoa powder
Pinch salt
1 tablespoon red food coloring
1 teaspoon vinegar
2 eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Butter an 8 by 8-inch baking pan, and set aside.
  • Brownie layer: In a saucepan on medium heat melt the butter. Remove the butter to a large bowl and add the sugar, vanilla, cocoa powder, salt, food coloring, and vinegar, in that order, mixing between additions. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and stir it into the cocoa mix. Fold in the flour until lightly combined. Stir in the walnuts and pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, saving 1/4 cup of the batter for the top.
  • Cream cheese layer: Blend together the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Gently spread the cream cheese layer on top of the brownie batter in the pan. Dollop the remaining brownie batter over the cream cheese layer. Using a skewer or the tip of a knife, drag the tip through the cream cheese mixture to create a swirl pattern. Bake the brownies for 30 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely before cutting.

Tips for Making Perfect Red Velvet Peppermint Swirl Brownies:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder: This will give your brownies a rich, chocolatey flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough, dense brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that they bake evenly.
  • Do not overbake the brownies: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. Bake just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
  • For a more intense peppermint flavor, use crushed candy canes instead of peppermint extract.

Conclusion:

Red velvet peppermint swirl brownies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a special dessert to serve at your next party or just want a sweet snack to enjoy at home, these brownies are sure to hit the spot.
