SubscribeMarbled Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies*
It’s January 20th, and I am bringing you a Valentine’s day dessert! That’s right, for once I am actually bringing you a holiday dessert before the holiday! Pigs are on fire and hell is flying…or, you know, whatever that saying is. We should all take a moment and enjoy this one time, never gonna happen ever again feeling.
Yesterday Jorge and I signed all the papers to rent a 2100 sq ft house. That’s like…almost 2 of our current apartment! This is going to be a BIG change for us since we have always been apartment/townhome type people. We are now going to have a yard to mow, room to do cartwheels down the hallways and the space to adopt like 50 more animals - totally just kidding…probably kidding…maybe…I mean…what’s a few more right?…
Since our offical move in date is February 17th, I know my current kitchen will have to be packed up a few days ahead of time….which is why I am here with my Vday dessert early. It’s not because I was planning ahead…or trying to be helpful. But I knew if I wanted to get to make these adorable Marbled Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies, that I have bookmarked since last year, I HAD to do it now or it wouldn’t happen.
I was nervous putting this recipe into the oven…I really winged it with the red velvet brownie batter. But I totally lucked out and it turned out delicious! Jorge was munching on all of the scraps leftover from the hearts and kept saying, “mmmm ::mumble mumble:: gooooodddd”. I’m not sure exactly what he was saying, but I know they were happy belly noises. 
I can’t think of a more perfect dessert for your honey this Valentine’s day. Thank you so much to Lindsey of Our Share Of The Harvest for the inspiration!
A couple of quick tips:
1. I used the red heart cookie cutter in this set from Wilton for my hearts. They are not actually bite sized…and are more a 2-3 bites sized. These brownies are definitely sturdy enough for the bigger size…and I feel better saying I had one brownie, instead of, I had 3 brownies.
2. Use a heavy duty jelly roll pan! A thin pan will result in the burnt bottoms (hehe). I have this one…and while yes it is more expensive than the cheapo ones at Wal-Mar, it is so worth the money.
3. You are going to have scraps leftover from the hearts. You have two options… One, stand over the sink eating them. Two, come back and check here on Monday to see what tasty treat I whipped up with the remaining scraps! Update: What to do with the scraps!
4. Wouldn’t these be adorable on lollipop sticks? And with a Valentine stuck to them? You know like the kid’s Valentines? Someone please do it & send me photos so I can ogle all the adorableness!
Update: What to do with the leftover scraps!
Marbled Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies
Yield: 16 hearts
Ingredients:
Red Velvet Layer:
3 1/4 cups flour
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
4 tablespoons milk, divided
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon red food coloring
2 teaspoons white vinegarCheesecake Layer:
2 8oz packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanillaDirections:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13 x 18 jelly roll pan with butter or spray with Baker's Joy.
In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons milk, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and white vinegar.
Combine the dry and wet ingredients, until completely combined. The batter will be a really thick, almost moldable texture...but don't worry, that's what you want. Remove 3/4 cup of the batter and place it in a medium bowl. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of milk (into the 3/4 cup of batter you just took out). Set aside the 3/4 cup batter.
Pour the remaining batter into the prepared jelly roll pan. Using a spatula, smooth out the batter to reach all the edges.
Now, in your stand mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until combined and there are no lumps. Pour the cream cheese mixture on top of the red velvet layer and smooth mixture till it reaches all the edges.
Drop spoonfuls of the remaining red velvet batter (that you mixed with milk) onto the top of the cheesecake layer. Drag the tip of a knife through the red velvet and the cheesecake layers to create swirls.
Bake for 30 minutes, rotating half way through, or just until the center is set and it no longer jiggles. Let cool completely on a wire rack before cutting. Use a medium sized heart cookie cutter to create the perfect Valentine's Day treat!

P.S. I am seriously considering sending out these to all of my dearest girlfriends this year. Do you want me to send you one too? You can have anybody but Justin, I already called all of those to wall paper my ceiling with.

I LOVE the way you’ve styled these shots! And your brownies look so delicious – although can you call it a brownie when it’s pink? Actually who cares, they look divine either way
Tara @ Chip Chip Hooray — January 20, 2012 @ 8:59 am
These are SO. Gorgeous. Oh my gosh. I love the way you made a brownie balloon bouquet.

I may have to make these next month and be a brownie pusher.
Christine — January 20, 2012 @ 4:11 pm
I have a V-day Blogger swap and I think Im going to try these out to send my partner! I wonder how they will ship?
Jessica replied: — January 20th, 2012 @ 11:28 pm
I would be worried about the cream cheese…but if you could do 2 day shipping and add some dry ice I think they would be great!
Christina @ ovenadventures — January 20, 2012 @ 4:14 pm
i love your styling on the first photo. fabulous. these are so cute.
If someone wanted to make these and didn’t have a sturdy jelly roll pan I bet you could just double up your pans.
I wish someone would make these for me!
Jessica replied: — January 20th, 2012 @ 11:26 pm
Good idea on the double pans!!

Yay for your move! So exciting!
I’ll be that person eating the scraps over the sink (scrap calories don’t count. Duh.) But then I’ll make another batch for your next treat. I promise.
Jen @ BeantownBaker.com — January 20, 2012 @ 10:05 pm

What size jelly roll pan? What are the dimensions?
Jessica replied: — January 20th, 2012 @ 10:47 pm
Above in the recipe it states the dimensions.
It’s a 13 x 18 Jelly Roll pan.

Deborah — January 21, 2012 @ 12:23 am
Funny – I just moved from a house with a yard to a townhouse with no yard. And a kitchen about a third of the size of the kitchen at my house. Yikes!!
I am a red velvet addict, and am totally loving these!!

Kristelle — January 21, 2012 @ 10:25 pm
When you combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix will the batter be like brownie mix or is it grainy?
Jessica replied: — January 22nd, 2012 @ 1:26 am
I just got an email a couple hours ago from someone who made them…and discovered I made a typo in the recipe! I had the wrong amount of oil!! I just remade a batch to make sure that my notes were correct…and have updated the recipe above to the correct amount of vegetable oil.
I am SO incredibly sorry. I hate that you wasted ingredients! If you don’t totally hate me, please try them again. I promise they are delicious now that I corrected the amount of oil
Ashley — January 22, 2012 @ 1:30 am
I just made these….and they are…ADORABLE! And super tasty!! I am going to make a batch to take into my classroom for Valentine’s day.
Sue — January 22, 2012 @ 10:48 am
Just checking, 1 Cup of oil is the correct amount? These are so cute! Great idea! Will be trying the recipe!
Jessica replied: — January 22nd, 2012 @ 11:31 am
Yes ma’am! 1 cup is the correct amount of oil.
Sues — January 22, 2012 @ 11:16 am
These are BEAUTIFUL!!! Seriously! SO impressed
Mandy — January 22, 2012 @ 7:51 pm
Must we wait until Monday to see what you have done with the leftovers? I’m on the edge of my seat! Can’t wait!!!
Jessica replied: — January 22nd, 2012 @ 9:40 pm
Just for you I posted it a few hours early!!!

I made these late last night…HOLY COW! I love them! I think they get even better after they sit for overnight. I ate like 11 for breakfast!

So glad you liked them Lauren!
…and 11 for breakfast sounds like a perfectly balanced meal
haha
Rachel — January 23, 2012 @ 9:28 am
What kind of red food coloring did you use? I have the wilton pastes, which are more concentrated, so do you know how much of that you would use instead? I think these brownies are adorable, btw!
Jessica replied: — January 23rd, 2012 @ 10:58 am
I have no idea how much you will need to use of the concentrated ones.
But just play around with it! Add a little at a time till you get the color you want. You can even make them pink if you would prefer!
Marsha — January 23, 2012 @ 10:39 am
What if you don’t have a jelly roll pan? Any ideas?
Jessica replied: — January 23rd, 2012 @ 11:00 am
Hmmm. That’s a tough one because you really want the jelly roll so they cook evenly.
Maybe if you have a large metal cake pan? You can put them in that. Just make sure it’s a big pan like the 13×18 jelly roll pan I used or they will be too thick.
If you don’t have anything metal, you could try using a 13×18 glass casserole dish. If you do this, drop the temperature down to 325, and cook them a little longer. You will have to watch them carefully!
I hope this helps! Let me know what you end up doing and if it works out!
Meagan — January 24, 2012 @ 12:32 am
Can these be cooked in a smaller pan? I don’t have a 13 x 18 and not sure I’m ready to splurge yet!
Jessica replied: — January 24th, 2012 @ 10:35 am
You can make it in a 9×11 if you can make 2/3rd of the recipe.
Meaning instead of 3 eggs, 2 eggs. Instead of 1 cup of oil, 2/3rd cup oil.
Good luck!!

Lisa — January 26, 2012 @ 12:32 am
Could you make these with just a normal pan instead of a jelly roll one?
Jessica replied: — January 26th, 2012 @ 5:12 pm
What do you mean by a normal pan?
Whatever you use, it must have sides…and it needs to be a large pan. Not deep, but in width/length.

Nell McCaslin — January 31, 2012 @ 10:48 pm
What a great idea. I’m going to try to make a gluten free version of this brownie. Regarding the scraps…I sometimes take stale or left over muffins or cookies and mix them with cake mix, nuts, choc chips etc then top with a crumb or coconut topping to make crazy coffee cakes.
Jessica replied: — February 1st, 2012 @ 12:25 am
That’s an awesome idea Neil! I am going to have to remember that for next time!
Brandie — February 1, 2012 @ 10:56 am
I love love love these! I will be making them for my kiddos valentines day parties! I was just wondering if you had a suggestion for a fruit/veggie to use instead of food coloring to make it red.
Jessica replied: — February 1st, 2012 @ 6:32 pm
To be honest, I don’t have a lot of experience using the natural ones.
But I have heard of people using beets. Or you could buy the icing coloring from Michael’s…then you would only need a few drops because it’s so concentrated!
Dugleik — February 1, 2012 @ 1:15 pm
Mine doesn’t look as pretty as the picture, but it tasts delicious.

Jessica, I just made these today and…. Oh My GOSH! How cute!!!! Thank You so much for sharing this! I fixed these for my women’s only recipe get together I have once a month at my house. They will LOVE these! One thing for all to note is the one TBL spoon of red food coloring will turn your batch red. I noticed Jessica’s was more pink. Next time I may seperate out the 3/4th cup and then add food coloring for a more pink look for the marble topping. Again thank you Jessica! Keep the GREAT work up!!!
Jessica replied: — February 6th, 2012 @ 1:19 pm

Mine were also red, not pink. But they were not a really dark red…more like a vibrant cherry red!

Nicole — February 7, 2012 @ 10:42 pm
I made these today and they turned out a bit oily/crumbly. Could this have been from baking them for too long? They taste delicious, they just don’t want to stay together. The batter was more similar to dough when I prepared it as well. Maybe I missed something?
Jessica replied: — February 7th, 2012 @ 10:54 pm
That may have been from baking for too long. The batter will be similar too a dough, I described it kind of like a weird playdough. But I had no issues with it being crumbly!
I’m sorry they didn’t hold together right, but I’m glad they at least still tasted good!
Lauren — February 8, 2012 @ 12:51 am
These turned out awesome! I am so excited to take them into my daughter’s Mother’s Day Out class tomorrow morning!

Katie — February 8, 2012 @ 12:50 pm
This might be an obvious question, but would a sil mat (or whatever those rubbery baking mats are) do the same trick as yor jelly roll pan?
Jessica replied: — February 8th, 2012 @ 12:54 pm
Well SilPats are used for cookies so they won’t stick, like parchment paper.
The reason you need to use a jelly roll pan is for the edges. If you put it in something without edges, the dough will fall out or flatten way too much.
You could use an extra large glass (like a rectangle casserole dish) or metal baking pan instead.
Hope this helps!

I really want to make these for valentine’s day but have recently joined WW. Any suggestions for a lower calorie alternative to this recipe?
Emily — February 10, 2012 @ 5:55 am
Hi there! These look amazing. I’ve had this recipe saves for weeks now but nervous about trying them.
I usually substitute natural applesauce for the oil in recipes for cakes & cupcakes…. Any chance that this could be done for this recipe?

I love this idea, and I love both cheesecake and red velvet anything, so I saved this recipe to use today for my daughter’s Valentine’s day Party at school! So fun! My marbling didn’t turn out quite as smooth as yours did (the lines were not as small), but how can you go wrong with cheesecake & brownies!?! If those kids don’t like ‘em, I’ll bring them home and eat them myself! (uh-oh….that could turn out badly).

I just made these and the taste is fabulous! I had trouble cutting them with the cookie cutter so I cut them into rectangles and had no waste!
My question to you is….How do you store them? In the refrigerator?
Ivorie — February 11, 2012 @ 8:04 pm
I plan on giving these as Valentine’s gifts for my daughter’s 4th grade class. I bought little clear bags with hearts on them and I’m going to attach her Valentine’s Day card to it. Already made a batch and they were a hit with the family. Good Job!
Judy — February 12, 2012 @ 12:04 am

I made them today, it was hard for me to make because i realized that i didn’t have eggs of cream cheese, so i have to go hunter for them. I think that i also stained my hands with red, but they were so good and so worth it!!
Making them again on tuesday

D — February 12, 2012 @ 8:37 am
I had trouble cutting these with the cookie cutter so I just cut them into squares. Since I ruined some of them I made them into cake pops! Yum yum.
Carla — February 12, 2012 @ 4:36 pm
I did a variation on these with a half sheet pan and a boxed red velvet cake mix, they were a huge hit and I’m currently making another 4 batches, 2 for my friend to take to her daughter’s Valentine’s day party at school and 2 for a charity bake sale. The half sheet pan makes 2 dozen hearts with what looks to be the same cookie cutter that you have. I also upped the sugar in the cream cheese mixture for the kiddies.
Molly — February 12, 2012 @ 11:35 pm
I made these today (halved the recipe) and everyone loves them!
Lisa — February 13, 2012 @ 12:05 am
Ours were not NEARLY as red, lol – although I didn’t use nearly a tablespoon of red food dye. They were still red-ish, and tasty. We used a smaller heart cutter and got 40ish.
Marta Blay — February 13, 2012 @ 3:49 am
They look terrific, you are a genius, i dont have the time to make them, but i will (sooner or later) just to have a bite!!!
Thank you so much for the recipe. I translated and posted on my blog.

Can these just be baked in a regular 13×9 brownie pan? Or twice, if there is too much batter for one?
Jessica replied: — February 14th, 2012 @ 9:19 pm
There is too much batter. But if you halve the recipe it should be ok in a 13×9!
Just make sure to watch the baking time if you do halve the recipe.

I just made these today for my hubby for valentines tomorrow. I LOVED them! they were fun and easy to do. I was a bit iffy at first with how the brownie batter was but they turned out great! i will be making these more and next time i’ll let the kids help with different shapes =)
Jessica replied: — February 14th, 2012 @ 9:19 pm
I know it is a really strange looking batter! But I am so glad they turned out well for you too!

I just got back from the UPS Store after spending waaayyy too much $$ to ship these AWESOME goodies overnight to my sweet little valentine college boy (okay, maybe 6’3″ 195 lbs isn’t so “little” but he’s still my baby). My son and his roommates are going to LOVE LOVE LOVE these! They turned out so adorably perfect and taste wonderful! Thanks for the great recipe…it’s definitely a keeper!!
Jessica replied: — February 14th, 2012 @ 9:20 pm

Megan — February 13, 2012 @ 9:15 pm
Do these need to be refrigerated??
Jessica replied: — February 14th, 2012 @ 9:20 pm
Eh, it depends. If you are storing it for a few days, yes I would just be safe. If it’s a few hours, they are fine to sit on the counter!
Emily — February 13, 2012 @ 9:25 pm
I made these tonight…not one of my better nights in the kitchen. I accidentally put too much cocoa, didn’t have enough red food coloring, and totally forgot to put the vinegar in. sheesh…so…I added a touch of vinegar in the 3/4 c batter…we will see how they turn out! Glad every day in the kitchen isn’t like this LOL
Jessica replied: — February 14th, 2012 @ 9:21 pm
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. I hate when I mess up on a recipe. I hope they still turned out ok despite the little mess ups!

Meghan — February 14, 2012 @ 7:43 pm
I made these for my family and friends for valentine’s day, and they turned out fabulous! I halved the recipe and baked them a few minutes less, it made a normal-sized batch of brownies (9×13 pan) which was perfect! The swirls were so pretty, especially on the tiny little hearts i cut them into! They tasted absolutely amazing; very rich and cheesecake-y! Thanks so much for the awesome recipe!
Jessica replied: — February 14th, 2012 @ 9:23 pm
So glad to hear they work well in a 9×13 if you half the recipe!
I wasn’t sure and people kept asking…and I couldn’t risk making the recipe again since I would eat them allll haha
Vanita — February 15, 2012 @ 10:53 am
I made them yesterday, and although they were a lot of work, they were totally worth it.
I didn’t have red food coloring, by the way, so I just left out some of the sugar and used grenadine.
Jessica — February 15, 2012 @ 1:00 pm
My husband and I made these last night! They came out awesome! We used a couple of different sizes of heart shaped cookie cutters to mix it up. Thank you for the fun recipe!

I made these last night for my husband for valentines day. They were AMAZING!!! He loved them so much.
I don’t have a large jelly roll pan, but I decided to make the whole batch and did 75% in my 13×9 pan and do the rest in mini muffin tins! It was perfect!!
