  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar until glossy and smooth.
  3. Once cooled slightly, add the large eggs and whisk for 2 minutes until light and foamy. Fold in vanilla extract and red food coloring.
  4. Sift all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet mixture. Gently fold until just combined.
  5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, an egg, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter and swirl using a knife or skewer.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before lifting out, slicing, and serving.
