RED VELVET CHEESECAKE BROWNIE BITES

The hardest part about this recipe is the piping if you do not have experience with it. No need to worry, you can easily use a small teaspoon to fill the brownies correctly.

Ingredients:
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon red food coloring
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
2 large eggs, lightly whisked
3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Cheesecake Filling:
1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
3 Tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg yolk
Mini Muffin Pan


MAKE THE BROWNIE BATTER:1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, food coloring and salt until combined and then stir in the white vinegar.
3. Add the eggs and stir until combined. Fold in the flour just until combined. Set brownie mixture aside.

MAKE THE CHEESECAKE FILLING:
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese with the sugar, vanilla extract and egg yolk until combined. Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a piping bag or seal-able plastic bag and snip off the tip.
2. Using a small ice cream scoop (or two small spoons) scoop about 1 tablespoon of the brownie batter into each well of the mini muffin pan. Pipe about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake mixture atop the brownie batter then top the cheesecake mixture with an additional 1 teaspoon of brownie batter. Using a toothpick, swirl the brownie batter and cheesecake mixture together.
3. Bake the brownie bites for about 12 minutes or until the cheesecake mixture is fully baked. Remove the brownie bites from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing them.

I should mention that you can keep these in the fridge but, to eat them leave them out for 15 minutes so that they can come to room temp and soften up. I did not do it the first round and they tasted so dry. Once you let them warm a little, the cheesecake filling starts to soften up.

Here is how mine came out: They are to the right of the turkey. No frosting needed. The other items pictured are the Mini Cheesecakes, Oreo Cheesecakes, Nutella Rolled cake, Blueberry Cheesecake crumble, and a cake
