Brownie Dippers with Dip (Print-Friendly Version)

Delicious brownie strips ready for dipping in smooth cheesecake dip. A perfect sweet option to share with friends and family.

# 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:

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.
02 - Stir together the melted butter, white sugar, red coloring, and vanilla in a big bowl until the mix looks smooth.
03 - Mix in each egg one after the other. Make sure the first one disappears into the batter before cracking in the next.
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!
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.
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.
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.

# Notes:

01 - Great for a movie night, special gatherings, or when the sweet tooth hits.
02 - Can be prepped early—keep brownies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
03 - Store leftover dip in the fridge for no more than 48 hours.
