‘Tis the season for the best desserts, the most decadent, the most delicious, the yummiest. I absolutely love the fall season. Waking up to a cold breeze enveloping my body which makes me hate getting up from the bed, the festive season lingering around us, and whatnot. There is nothing as pleasant as fall! And to kick-start this weather, I have the perfect red velvet brownies recipe for you guys to hog on!

I have been working on this red velvet brownies recipe since time immemorial because I wanted not too heavy but just perfectly decadent red velvet brownies. Moreover, I wanted my brownies to be melting in the mouth without being too heavy. And I think that I have now created one crazy red velvet brownies recipe and I am sure you guys will love it!

Tips for the perfect red velvet brownies

While this recipe is fairly easily, there are certain steps that we can always follow to attain perfect, gooey brownies. Some tips are:

• The type of food coloring you will use to obtain the red color will always vary. While some brands’ food coloring gives off a strong, pigmented color, some other brands’ will not end up satisfying you. In such situations, the amount of food coloring you will put will vary. I would recommend a cautious drop-by-drop method for mixing the food coloring in order to obtain the perfect red color.
• After preparing the batter, do not let the batter for these red velvet brownies rest for long as the vinegar will react with the other ingredients and can end up seriously altering your recipe.
• Keep a watch on your red velvet brownies when they are in the oven. Do not open the oven time and again to check because the cream cheese mixture on top gets affected and the top may crack.

Ingredients for this recipe

The ingredients in this recipe are fairly straightforward. The recipe uses cream cheese and I get a lot of queries revolving around cream cheese. I would recommend you to start with normal brands like Brittania or even Mooz. They are very easily available in your nearest grocery store, and if not there, you can surely get your hands on some cream cheese in Modern Bazaar stores, Krishna Marche, Food Hall, and even 24×7 stores in Delhi.

For food coloring, most of your typical grocery stores have food coloring. But, I would surely advise you to please choose the right brand because the cheaper food coloring will not give you a very nice and dense red color easily and it is not good for the health either.
