Ingredients
Brownie Base:
1 box of red velvet cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cream Cheese Swirl:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping:
10 Oreo cookies, crushed
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.
- Make Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, mix the red velvet cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.
- Cream Cheese Swirl: In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Create Swirls: Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture onto the brownie batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl it in.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle crushed Oreos over the top, pressing them in lightly.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool & Serve: Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
Extra Chocolatey: Stir chocolate chips into the batter.
Double Oreo: Mix crushed Oreos into the batter before baking.
Layered Look: Instead of swirling, layer the cream cheese in the middle.
Nutty Addition: Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free red velvet cake mix.
