Creating these delicious Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies can be effortless if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare Brownie Mixture: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth. Then, add the red food coloring and stir well.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
5. Prepare Cheesecake Mixture: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
6. Layer the Mixtures: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Then, gently spoon the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer.
7. Add Remaining Batter: Finally, drop spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter on top of the cheesecake layer. Use a knife to swirl the two mixtures together for a marbled effect.
8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The edges should be set, and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes. After cooling, lift them out using the parchment paper and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
10. Slice and Serve: Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares and serve.
