3. Step-by-Step Directions for Making Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies

Prepare the Brownie Base

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray or butter. In a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix with eggs, vegetable oil, and sour cream until smooth. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.

Make the Cheesecake Layer

In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream, mixing until well combined. Carefully dollop this creamy mixture over the brownie base, then swirl gently with a toothpick or a knife for a marbled effect.

Bake and Cool

Sprinkle chocolate chips on top if desired. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing to ensure clean cuts and optimal flavor.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the brownies wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw at room temperature or warm slightly in your Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast 4-in-1.
