Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies – FAQ❓

Expand All:

🍫 Can I use regular cocoa powder?

Yes! Unsweetened cocoa powder works perfectly here. It adds rich chocolate depth without overpowering the red velvet flavor.

 

🎨 Can I make them without red food coloring?

Totally. You’ll still get delicious cheesecake brownies — just without the signature red color. You can also try natural food dyes if preferred 🌱

 

📏 Can I use a different baking pan?

An 8x8” or 9x9” square pan is perfect. A round pan works too if you want a more elegant presentation. Just watch the thickness and adjust bake time slightly.

 

🍋 Can I add fruit for a twist?

Yes! Try:
– Fresh or frozen raspberries ❤️
– A bit of lemon zest in the cheesecake layer
– Blueberries for a summery vibe

💥 My cheesecake layer cracked — help!

Don’t worry! It usually means it baked too hot or too long. To avoid cracks:
✔ Don’t overbake
✔ Let it cool gradually
✔ Chill fully before slicing
