Red Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Brownies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 cup butter
    2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
    1 cup sugar
    2 eggs
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 1/2 teaspoons red food coloring
    2/3 cup all-purpose flour
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
    1/3 cup sugar
    1 egg
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation
    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8- or 9-inch baking pan with foil and lightly grease.
    2. In a small heatproof bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips in the microwave on high, stirring at 30 second intervals; set aside to cool for a few minutes.
    3. In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the red food coloring. Add the chocolate-butter mixture and stir until smooth (batter should be red). Add the flour and salt; stir until just combined and no streaks of dry ingredients remain.
    4. Pour into prepared baking pan and spread into an even layer; set aside.
    5. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 egg and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Drop in dollops onto prepared brownie batter in pan. Using a butter knife, gently swirl to create a marbled effect.
    6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until brownies are set and the edges are lightly browned.
    7. Cool in the pan on a rack completely before peeling off foil and cutting into squares.
    Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
    NOTE: Brownies can be refrigerated, covered, for several days.
