Ingredients

  • 1 box red velvet cake mix

  • 1 egg

  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened

For the Cheesecake Layer:

  • 8 ounces (226g) cream cheese, room temperature

  • 1 large egg, room temperature

  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar

  • ¼ cup (61g) sour cream, room temperature

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

  • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13” baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray for easy removal.

  1. Prepare the Red Velvet Base:

  • In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, or using a hand mixer, combine the softened butter, 1 egg, and red velvet cake mix until a thick dough forms.

  • Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.

  1. Make the Cheesecake Layer:

  • Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar and mix until fully incorporated.

  • Beat in the egg, sour cream, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.

  • Stir in the mini chocolate chips.

  1. Assemble and Bake:

  • Pour the cheesecake mixture over the red velvet base, spreading it evenly.

  • Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the edges start to brown and the center is set but still jiggles slightly when shaken.

  1. Cool and Chill:

  • Allow the bars to cool to room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to fully set before slicing into bars.
