I stumbled on these red velvet brownie dippers one night when I couldn't pick between brownies and cheesecake. What started as indecision turned into magic - fudgy, stick-shaped treats perfect for dunking into fluffy cheesecake dip. The stunning contrast of deep red against snow white makes everyone grab their cameras before they take their first amazing bite.

Key Ingredients

  • Go with unsalted butter for the right fudgy feel - the salt in regular butter would mess with the taste balance.
  • Good quality cocoa powder brings that true red velvet flavor that goes deeper than just adding color.
  • Don't forget to let your eggs warm up first for better mixing and proper lift while baking.
  • Make sure your cream cheese isn't cold or you won't get that super smooth dip texture.
  • The heavy cream makes your dip rich and keeps it at just the right thickness for dipping.

Making Your Treat

Starting The Brownie Mix:
Mix your melted butter and sugar until it looks fluffy, then stir in the red food coloring and vanilla until you see that gorgeous color pop.
Getting The Texture Right:
Put in one egg at a time and mix well between each one - taking your time here makes your brownies turn out perfect.
Mixing Wet and Dry:
Sift all your dry stuff carefully, then stir it into your wet mix just until it comes together - don't go crazy with mixing or you'll ruin it.
Watching The Oven:
Keep an eye on your brownies as they bake and look for when the sides start pulling away from the pan just a little.
Whipping Up Your Dip:
Beat that cream cheese mix until it's super fluffy, then gently fold in your whipped cream so it stays perfect for dipping.

Dreamy Dip Secrets

Getting cream cheese and whipped cream to work together just right takes a bit of know-how. Beat too much and your dip gets runny, too little and it's too stiff. It took me a few tries, but now I can make that perfect, fluffy cloud texture without even thinking about it.

Serving Suggestions

Stand your brownie sticks up in a drinking glass or jar, with little cups of cheesecake dip all around. For fancy times, add a drizzle of white chocolate over the brownies or sprinkle on some edible gold dust to jazz them up.

Tasty Twists

Drop some mint flavoring into the dip during Christmas time, or mix in smashed Oreos for a cookies-and-cream feel. The brownies taste amazing with a bit of espresso powder to bring out the chocolate, and you can switch up the dip with different flavors based on the season.

Storage Tips

Keep your brownies and dip in different sealed containers. The brownies stay nice and fudgy for about five days on your counter, while the dip lasts in your fridge for up to a week. Just let the dip warm up a bit before serving so it's not too firm for dipping.

Expert Tricks

Ingredients

→ Red Velvet Brownies

01 1 tablespoon red food color
02 1 cup melted unsalted butter
03 4 large eggs
04 ½ teaspoon salt
05 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
06 2 teaspoons vanilla
07 ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa
08 1 ½ cups granulated sugar

→ Cheesecake Dip

09 ½ cup whipped heavy cream
10 ½ cup powdered sugar
11 8 ounces softened cream cheese
12 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Optional Toppings

13 Chopped pecans
14 Drizzled white chocolate

Steps

Step 01

Set your oven to 350°F (177°C) to preheat. Use parchment paper to line a 9x13-inch pan, leaving extra paper on the sides so you can lift the brownies out with ease later.

Step 02

Grab a big mixing bowl and whisk together the melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and red food coloring until the mixture looks fully blended and smooth.

Step 03

One by one, crack in the eggs. Stir well after each egg to make sure it's thoroughly mixed before moving to the next.

Step 04

Sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Then gently fold this into your wet ingredients until just blended. Be careful not to stir too much!

Step 05

Pour the brownie batter into the lined pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes. Check with a toothpick—it should have a few moist crumbs clinging to it when they're ready.

Step 06

As the brownies cool off, mix softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until it's fluffy. Gently fold in whipped cream to make it nice and smooth.

Step 07

When the brownies are completely cool, slice them into stick-sized pieces. Pair them with your cheesecake dip and, if you'd like, top everything with white chocolate or a sprinkle of pecans.

Notes

  1. Great for movie hangouts, parties, or when you want something sweet.
  2. The brownies stay good for up to 4 days if sealed tight in a container.
  3. The dip can last in the fridge for a max of 2 days.
