Tips for the best red velvet cheesecake brownie:

Use unsalted butter as salted butter vary from brand to brand on the amount of salt added in.
Do not over mix brownies. This will cause tough brownies. And no one likes tough brownies right?
Bake brownies until toothpick inserted comes out clean. That is a good test to see if the brownies are cooked all the way through.

Can I use a 9x13 pan?

You sure can, however I would suggest doubling the recipe and cooking for 40-45 minutes.

How to store red velvet cheesecake brownie?

These brownies taste best fresh. If you happen to have left overs you can store in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two. You can also freeze these brownies for 2-3 months. When ready to eat, allow to defrost in the refrigerator until softened.

What goes well with these brownies?

My favorite is ala mode. A deliciously, cool scoop of vanilla ice cream really makes this an amazing recipe. A nice cold glass of milk also goes well. Of course eating it alone is also amazing!

Pour brownie layer in to the prepared pan and spread evenly. Add dollops of the cheesecake mixture over the top of the brownie layer. Then take a knife or chopstick and run through both layers going up and down to pan to create swirls.

Bake for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Enjoy!
