Jump to RecipeGordon Ramsay Red Velvet Brownies Recipe Ingredients
- 125g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 90g white chocolate chips (or chopped bar)
- 113g unsalted butter
- 43g cocoa powder
- 100g brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 10 drops red food coloring (or to your desired color)
How To Make Gordon Ramsay Red Velvet Brownies
- Prep Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to act as handles.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and white chocolate chips. Set this mixture aside.
- Melt Butter and Cocoa: In a large bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the cocoa powder and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and red food coloring to the butter mixture. Stir until everything is well combined and the batter is a vibrant, deep red color.
- Fold in Dry Mix: Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Bake and Cool: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer. Bake for 23 to 25 minutes. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist, slightly gooey crumbs attached. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out to slice.
Recipe Tips
- How do I know when the brownies are perfectly fudgy? The key to a fudgy brownie is to slightly underbake it. Do not wait for the toothpick to come out perfectly clean. It should have moist, sticky crumbs on it. The brownies will continue to set and firm up as they cool.
- How do I get clean brownie slices? For the cleanest cuts, let the brownies cool completely, or even chill them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Use a large, sharp knife, press straight down, and wipe the blade clean with a damp paper towel between each cut.
- Do I have to use parchment paper? Yes, it’s highly recommended! Lining the pan with parchment paper that has an overhang on the sides makes it incredibly easy to lift the entire slab of brownies out of the pan for neat slicing.
- Is the red food coloring necessary? It’s what gives red velvet its signature look. Be careful when using it, as red food coloring can easily stain countertops, clothes, and your hands.
What To Serve With Red Velvet Brownies
These rich brownies are a decadent treat on their own, but they are even better with:
- A tall glass of cold milk.
- A scoop of vanilla bean or cream cheese ice cream.
- A dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of white chocolate shavings.
How To Store Red Velvet Brownies
Store: Place the completely cooled and sliced brownies in an airtight container. They will stay fresh and fudgy at room temperature for up to 4 days.

FAQs
What’s the difference between a red velvet brownie and a chocolate brownie?
A red velvet brownie has a much milder chocolate flavor, using just a small amount of cocoa powder. Its most defining characteristics are the vibrant red color and a very soft, tender texture, often complemented by the sweetness of white chocolate.
Can I add frosting to these brownies?
Absolutely. A classic cream cheese frosting is the traditional topping for red velvet desserts and would be a delicious addition. Make sure the brownies are completely cool before frosting them.
Why are my brownies cakey instead of fudgy?
A cakey texture is usually caused by overmixing the batter after the flour has been added, which develops too much gluten. Fold the dry ingredients in gently with a spatula and stop mixing as soon as you no longer see streaks of flour.
