Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
For the red velvet brownies: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup sugar and melted butter. Incorporate cocoa, red food coloring, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, vinegar, and salt, one at a time, ensuring thorough mixing after each addition to achieve a smooth batter. Blend in 2 eggs until fully combined.
Gently stir flour into the cocoa mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Reserve 1/4 cup of the batter. Pour the remaining batter into the prepared baking dish.
For the cheesecake filling: In a bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer at medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy. Add 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Continue beating until well blended, with only small lumps remaining, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
Spoon dollops of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter in the pan. Gently smooth the tops of the dollops to align with the batter, using a knife or offset spatula. Avoid overmixing. Drizzle the reserved 1/4 cup of brownie batter over the cream cheese dollops. Use a knife or skewer to create beautiful swirls through the batter and cream cheese mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges begin to separate from the pan sides, about 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool completely before slicing into bars. Store covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
