Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugar. Whisk in eggs one at a time until well incorporated.
Add vanilla extract, red food coloring, vinegar, and cocoa powder; mix well.
Stir in flour and salt until just combined.
Reserve 1/4 cup of brownie batter. Pour the remaining batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla extract; mix until creamy.
Spread the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer evenly.
Drop spoonfuls of reserved brownie batter over the cheesecake layer and swirl gently with a toothpick or knife.
Bake for 35–40 minutes until the center is set but still moist.
Cool completely before chilling in the fridge for at least 2 hours before slicing into squares.
