Red Velvet Valentine Brownie Bites
Ingredients
Red Velvet Brownies
- 3 Tbsp dark chocolate cocoa powder
- 1 tsp Wilton Christmas Red food coloring Gel
- 2 tsp vanilla, divided
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 2/3 cup white chocoalte chips, melted
- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 Tbsp milk
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
Red Velvet Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Line a 9x13 cake pan with parchment paper that hangs over the edges and grease with butter or shortening. Flour lightly.
- In a small bowl, combine cocoa powder, red food coloring, and 1 tsp vanilla to create a paste.
- Using your stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy.
- One at a time, add the eggs and vanilla and mix until incorporated.
- Add the cocoa paste and mix until combined thoroughly. At this point, you can add more coloring if the batter is not red enough for your taste.
- Add flour and salt and mixuntil just combined.
- Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Ensure batter is level and flat, especially on the sides. Since there is no leavening in this recipe, the brownies won't rise very much.
- Bake 23-25 minutes.
- Let brownies cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Use the parchment paper to lift the brownies from the pan.
- Using a small heart shaped cookie cutter, cut brownies into heart shapes.
White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
- Using your stand mixer, cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth - about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the melted white chocolate and mix until incorporated.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, milk and salt and mix on medium-low until smooth.
- Beat 2-3 minutes on high until light and fluffy.
Assembly
- Using a small star tip (like Wilton 1M), pipe frosting onto the top of one heart. Make sure to pipe to the edges of the heart.
- Place another heart, face up, on top of the frosting and gently press down.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar to garnish.
