Introduction

These Oreo Stuffed Red Velvet Brownies combine rich cocoa flavor with the vibrant red color and a delightful surprise of whole Oreos baked inside. Topped with silky chocolate ganache and crushed Oreos, they make an irresistible treat for any occasion.

A square piece of dessert with four layers sits in the center of a white plate: the bottom layer is a rich red velvet cake, followed by a layer with cream-filled chocolate cookies, then a thick layer of smooth chocolate frosting, topped with crushed chocolate cookies scattered unevenly. More pieces of the same dessert are visible in the background on similar white plates. There are whole and broken chocolate cream cookies placed near the plate on a white marbled surface, creating a soft contrast with the dessert's dark colors.

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup cocoa powder

1/4 cup strong coffee (prepared)
1-2/3 cups sugar

2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla

2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 ounces liquid red food coloring OR 2 tablespoons gel red food coloring
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/3 cup flour
24 Oreos

1 recipe Microwave Chocolate Ganache
Additional Oreos (to garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

Step 2: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely.
Step 3: Add cocoa powder and prepared coffee to the melted butter. Stir until fully combined.
Step 4: Mix in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth.

Step 5: Add white vinegar and your choice of red food coloring to the saucepan. Stir until the color is evenly distributed. Tip: Gel food coloring is preferred as it is more concentrated, requiring less to achieve a vibrant color.
Step 6: Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 7: Grease a 9″ x 13″ baking pan and pour the batter in, smoothing it into an even layer.

Step 8: Arrange the 24 Oreos on top of the batter in four rows of six. Tip: Both original and Double Stuf Oreos work well and offer different levels of creaminess.
Step 9: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the brownies are just set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 10: Prepare the Microwave Chocolate Ganache according to its recipe instructions.

Step 11: Allow the brownies to cool for five minutes, then spread the ganache evenly over the top.
Step 12: Crush additional Oreos and sprinkle over the ganache as garnish. Refrigerate brownies until the ganache is set.

Tips & Variations

Use gel red food coloring for a more vibrant color with less liquid added to the batter.

Try Double Stuf Oreos for a creamier surprise inside the brownies.
Crush leftover Oreos on top to add texture and extra chocolate flavor.

Storage

Store these brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To enjoy, bring them to room temperature or warm gently in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Refrigeration helps keep the ganache firm and the Oreos crisp.

How to Serve

A close-up of a slice of cake held by a woman's hand shows four clear layers: the bottom layer is deep red with a slightly crumbly texture, the second layer is thick, dark chocolate, followed by a thin white creamy layer, and then another dark chocolate layer, topped with a thin chocolate frosting layer with a rich, slightly rough texture. The background is a soft blue, contrasting with the cake's vibrant colors. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular food coloring instead of gel?

Yes, you can use regular liquid food coloring, but you may need to use more to achieve a bright red color, which could slightly affect the batter’s consistency.
