Ingredients

Scale

The Brownie Base

1 box red velvet cake mix
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs

The Cheesecake Layer

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preparing the Brownie Base

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, melted unsalted butter, and large eggs. Mix until well incorporated and smooth.
Press the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan, covering the bottom completely.

Making the Cheesecake Layer

In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, large egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Carefully spread the cheesecake batter over the brownie base, covering the entire surface.

Baking the Bars

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is set and the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

Avoid Overbaking: Keep a close eye on the bars to prevent them from drying out; the center may appear slightly jiggly when done.
Achieve the Best Texture: Gently fold in the ingredients until just combined for a fudgy, dense brownie base.
Proper Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
