How to Make Red Velvet Brownie Dippers (Step-by-Step Guide)
Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Batter
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang to help lift the brownies out later.
2️⃣ In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
3️⃣ Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and red food coloring, whisking until smooth.
4️⃣ In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix!
Step 2: Bake the Brownies
5️⃣ Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6️⃣ Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
7️⃣ Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing into small dippers. For cleaner cuts, chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before slicing!
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Dip
8️⃣ In a bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until fluffy.
9️⃣ Add vanilla extract and heavy cream, beating until smooth and creamy.
🔟 Transfer the dip to a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
How to Serve Your Red Velvet Brownie Dippers
- Classic Dipping Style – Serve the dippers stacked on a platter with the cheesecake dip in the center.
- Fancy Garnish – Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate for an elegant look.
- Pair with Fresh Fruit – Strawberries and raspberries complement the flavors beautifully.
- Extra Crunch – Sprinkle with crushed nuts or toffee bits for added texture.

Storage Instructions
- At Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- In the Fridge: Keep the brownies and cheesecake dip refrigerated for up to 5 days.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! You can bake the brownies and prepare the dip a day in advance for easy assembly.
2. Can I use a box mix?
Sure! If you’re in a pinch, a red velvet cake mix can work, but homemade is much richer!
3. How do I get a deeper red color?
Use gel food coloring instead of liquid—it’s more concentrated!
4. What if I don’t have heavy cream?
You can substitute milk or Greek yogurt, though the texture may vary slightly.
