Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk until glossy and smooth.
  3. Add two large eggs and whisk vigorously until emulsified and foamy (about 2 minutes).
  4. Stir in vanilla extract and red food coloring gently until evenly mixed.
  5. Gently fold in all-purpose flour, Dutch-process cocoa powder, and salt until no flour streaks remain.
  6. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it evenly across the bottom.
  7. In a separate bowl, mix softened cream cheese, one egg, and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  8. Dollop the cream cheese mixture on top of the brownie batter and swirl it gently to create a marbled effect.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes, then lift out and cool completely before slicing into 16 squares.
