I whipped up these red velvet brownie dippers one night when I couldn't pick between brownies and cheesecake. They turned an everyday treat into something magical - thick, fudgy brownie sticks that you can dunk into fluffy clouds of smooth cheesecake dip. The bold red against the snow-white dip looks so amazing that everyone grabs their camera before taking their first bite.

Key Ingredients

  • Grab unsalted butter for the right fudgy feel - don't use the salted kind or you'll mess up the taste balance.
  • Good quality cocoa powder brings out that true red velvet flavor that goes deeper than just adding color.
  • Make sure your eggs aren't cold from the fridge so everything mixes evenly.
  • Your cream cheese needs to sit out until it's soft for a super smooth dip.
  • The heavy cream makes the dip rich and keeps it at just the right thickness for dunking.

Crafting Your Treat

Starting The Brownie Base:
Mix melted butter with sugar until it gets light and fluffy, then stir in red food coloring and vanilla until you see that gorgeous color pop.
Bringing The Batter To Life:
Add eggs one at a time and mix well after each - taking your time here gets you that dream brownie texture.
Mixing It All Up:
Sift dry stuff carefully, then slowly fold into your wet mix just until combined - don't go crazy with the mixing.
Getting Them Baked:
Keep an eye on your brownies as they cook, and look for when the sides start to pull back from the pan.
Whipping Up Dip Magic:
Beat the cream cheese mix until it's super light, then gently fold in whipped cream so it stays perfect for dipping.

Smooth Dip Science

Getting cream cheese and whipped cream to work together just right makes all the difference. Whip too much and your dip gets runny, too little and it's too stiff. It took me a few tries, but now I can make that perfect, fluffy texture without even thinking about it.

Serving Suggestions

Stand the brownie sticks up in a tall glass or jar, with little cups of cheesecake dip all around. For fancy times, add some white chocolate drizzle on the brownies or sprinkle a bit of edible gold dust to make them look extra special.

Tasty Twists

Mix some mint into the dip during Christmas time, or throw in crushed Oreos for a cookies-and-cream feel. The brownies taste amazing with a bit of coffee powder to make the chocolate pop, and you can play with different flavors in the dip depending on the season.

Storage Tips

Keep your brownies and dip in different sealed containers. The brownies stay nice and fudgy for about five days on your counter, while the dip lasts in the fridge for up to a week. Let the dip warm up a bit before serving so it's not too firm for dipping.

Smart Baking Tricks

Let your brownie mix sit for 10 minutes before baking to get more flavor.

Gently bang your pan on the counter to get rid of air bubbles.

Cut brownies with a bread knife using a back-and-forth motion for the best results.

These red velvet brownie dippers have become my go-to treat for every get-together, earning their spot in my favorite recipes after so many friends asked me how to make them. There's something special about how they pull people together, getting everyone talking and creating little moments of happiness around the dessert table. Whether we're just watching movies or having a fancy party, these dippers always make things feel extra special.

Recipe FAQs

→ Is it possible to prep brownies in advance?
Absolutely! Bake them a couple of days early. Keep them sealed, and whip up the dip when you're ready to serve.
→ How long can I keep the cheesecake dip?
It’ll stay good in the fridge for three days if you store it in a sealed container.
→ Are these brownies freezable?
Yep! They’ll keep in the freezer for two months. Make sure to let them thaw fully before serving with the dip.
→ What if I don’t have red food dye?
No problem. Just make classic chocolate brownies instead – they’ll still taste amazing, just without the red hue.

Just swap the regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend, and you’re good to go!

Ingredients

→ Red Velvet Brownies

01 1 ½ cups white sugar
02 4 large eggs
03 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
04 1 tablespoon bright red food coloring
05 ¼ cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
06 1 ¼ cups plain flour
07 ½ teaspoon table salt
08 1 cup melted unsalted butter

→ Cheesecake Dip

09 ½ cup whipped heavy cream
10 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
11 ½ cup powdered (confectioners') sugar
12 8 ounces softened cream cheese

→ Optional Toppings

13 Pecans (crushed)
14 Drizzle of white chocolate

Steps

Step 01

Turn your oven on to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment, leaving some extra hanging over the edges for lifting out later.

Step 02

Stir together the melted butter, white sugar, red coloring, and vanilla in a big bowl until the mix looks smooth.

Step 03

Mix in each egg one after the other. Make sure the first one disappears into the batter before cracking in the next.

Step 04

Sift the cocoa, salt, and flour straight into the wet mix. Gently fold until you don't see dry spots—don’t stir too much!

Step 05

Spread the batter evenly in your pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check with a toothpick—it should come out with slightly damp crumbs.

Step 06

While the brownies cool, use a mixer to beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until light. Gently fold in whipped cream until it’s smooth and silky.

Step 07

Once cool, slice brownies into slim sticks perfect for dipping. Pair with cheesecake dip and, if you’d like, top with pecans or chocolate drizzle.

  1. Great for a movie night, special gatherings, or when the sweet tooth hits.
  2. Can be prepped early—keep brownies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
