Ingredients

Brownies

15.25 ounces red velvet cake mix 1 box
2 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup white chocolate chips

Cream Cheese Frosting

8 ounces cream cheese softened
3 Tablespoons butter softened
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350ºF and line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Gently spray the edges of the pan and parchment with a little baking spray and set the pan aside.
Add the red velvet cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil to a large mixing bowl and whisk into a smooth batter.
15.25 ounces red velvet cake mix, 2 eggs, ½ cup vegetable oil
Stir in the white chocolate chips.
1 cup white chocolate chips
Scoop the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer.
Bake the red velvet brownies for 18-20 minutes. The tops of the brownies will look set and no longer wet.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
While the brownies cool, make the cream cheese frosting. Add the softened cream cheese and butter to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Beat the two ingredients together until smooth.
8 ounces cream cheese, 3 Tablespoons butter
Add the powdered sugar and beat again until very fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl so all of the ingredients are blended in evenly.
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
Stir in the vanilla extract.
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Once the brownies are cool, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top of the brownies in the pan.
Cut the brownies into squares. Use a hot knife and wipe the knife after each cut to keep the frosting neat and white.
Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for up to a week!

Notes

Add some extra white chocolate chips, red sprinkles, or a dusting of cocoa powder to the top of the brownies as a decoration.
Pipe the cream cheese frosting on top of the brownies in a rosette design. This will make your brownies look very fancy!
