These Oreo Cream Cheese Stuffed Red Velvet Brownies bring in both of those elements that I told you yesterday were going to make an appearance more than once this week – cream cheese and Oreos. I started with my favorite red velvet brownie recipe. I use the recipe in my Red Velvet Cookbook for Brownie Cups, but it is a great recipe that translates over to regular brownies as well.
But these aren’t just brownies. Half of the batter goes into the pan, then you get a thick layer of Oreo infused cream cheese. The center of these red velvet brownies is pretty much heaven. Then the rest of the brownie batter goes on the top and then they are baked to gooey perfection. These are definitely more on the gooey side versus the cakey side.
A few hints to making these red velvet brownies – an offset spatula was my best friend. The first layer of of the dough is a little bit difficult to layer into the bottom of the pan. It helps first of all if you drop dollops of the dough over the surface of the pan instead of just dumping the batter into the center. Take your offset spatula and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Use that to spread the batter evenly over the bottom of the pan.
Then you’ll want to repeat that procedure with both the cream cheese layer and the top brownie layer.
I know they sound a little fussy, but they really aren’t. And they are totally worth it, anyway!!
These Oreo Cream Cheese Stuffed Brownies are rich and sweet and filled with all kinds of goodness – they are a red velvet dream come true!!
