The Red Velvet Magic
Red Velvet brownies are a delightful twist on the classic brownie, bringing a touch of elegance and intrigue to your dessert table. Here’s a summary of what makes these treats so unique:
- Velvety Texture: Red Velvet brownies are incredibly moist and tender, owing their texture to the buttermilk and a dash of vinegar in the recipe. This makes them soft and velvety, similar to their cake counterpart.
- Subtle Cocoa Flavor: While Red Velvet cake is known for its mild cocoa flavor, Red Velvet brownies maintain this signature taste but with a denser, fudgier consistency. The cocoa powder adds depth without overpowering the sweetness.
- Cream Cheese Swirl: What sets these brownies apart is the sumptuous
cream cheese swirl on top. It introduces a rich, tangy contrast to the sweetness of the brownie base, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. - Stunning Presentation: The vibrant red hue of Red Velvet brownies is visually striking and hints at the delightful flavor within. These brownies are often adorned with a dusting of powdered sugar or drizzled with white chocolate for added decadence.

Love this recipe – made it a few years ago and making it again for this Christmas!
hi just to let you know, saw your red velvet brownies image cropped and used as a front for a different recipe in a class.
Where? Thanks!
There is a glitch in some of my posts, I have corrected the Red Velvet Brownies. Can you let me know any other that you tried and couldn’t pin.
Sorry, I found it! Cannot wait to try these. 🙂
I want to make these today, but do not see the recipe for the cream cheese frosting. Can you please attach the link?
I just made these today for my church’s Memorial Day cookout. Best Red Velvet Brownie recipe EVER! I omitted the cream cheese frosting because of time constraints. However, I added two tablespoons of buttermilk and half of bag of white chocolate chips.
Where is the recipe for the frosting?

I saw this recipe noting it using butter and bittersweet chocolate instead of the usual vegetable oil and cocoa so I had to make it. I’m a huge fan of Trader Joe’s 70% chocolate and had a fresh bar so I had to make it this morning. WOW! Absolutely the BEST Red Velvet Brownie’s by far. I have made lots of them but this made a perfect dense but moist, almost cake but better brownie. I’m looking forward to your posts to try other recipes but this one is definitely a keeper!
Thanks so much Ken. I, too, tried all the other RV brownies and wasn’t happy. I adapted this from my Rocky Road brownies, which are my favorite. Real chocolate makes a world of difference.
I just made these tonight because one of my grandson’s really likes Red Velvet cake. These are absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing your recipe for both the brownies and the cream cheese frosting. I’m going to try freezing them since I will have too many to share now but would like to also be able to put them out for New Year’s Eve and Day. I hope that will work. Have you ever tried freezing them before? I probably should have frozen some without the frosting as I’m not sure what will become of the texture of the frozen frosting. I guess I’ll find out!
I’m so happy you liked them. Reminds me my son wanted me to make more of them. I haven’t frozen these before, but I have frozen cakes with cream cheese frosting and it worked fine. I thawed it in the refrigerator. Have a great holiday, Vicki!
