Red Velvet Oreo Truffle Brownies
These Red Velvet Oreo Truffle Brownies are fantastic! Fudgy red velvet brownies, delicious Oreo truffle and melted chocolate combine to make the three layers of this spectacular dessert. They are a hit with everyone who try them!
My original Oreo Truffle Recipe is one of my favorite recipes on the blog and one of the ones I am most proud of. They are delicious and combine EVERYTHING I love. Brownies. Oreo Truffles. And melted chocolate.
With Valentine’s around the corner I was brainstorming some festive recipes I could be doing and it dawned on me to make my favorite brownie recipe with a red-twist!
These were super fun and enjoyed by all who tried them! If you love chocolate then these are a MUST MAKE! They are seriously insane in the best way possible and will be one unforgettable treat.
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1⅓ cups flour
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 fluid ounce bottle of red food coloring
- 1 pkg. Double Stuffed Oreos
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1½ cups milk chocolate chips
- ½ cup semi-sweet milk chocolate chips
- 1 Tablespoon shortening
- Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs and blend well. Add vanilla, salt, cocoa and flour. Don’t overbeat. Add food coloring and mix again.
- Pour into a greased 9X13 pan.
- Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
- While brownies are cooling, make Oreo truffle layer.
- Crush Oreos finely in a food processor or by putting them in a ziplock bag and smashing them until finely ground with a rolling pin.
- When Oreos are finely crushed, using hands (or a spoon, I just think hands are faster), mash softened cream cheese and crushed Oreos until well combined.
- When Brownies have cooled completely, place layer of Oreo truffle on top.
- Combine chocolate chips and shortening together in a medium microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between each increment until melted and smooth.
- Evenly spread over the top of Oreo Truffle layer.
- Let set up in fridge before cutting into.
Enjoy!

Hi Nikki! Thanks so much for the recipe! One question though - do you think it would be ok to leave out the food coloring? It freaks me out to put that kind of quantity in desserts - or at least always has when I make red velvet cake. Just curious if you think it does anything besides add color. Thanks!

Hi! I haven't tried these yet but they look delicious, to bad I missed them yesterday! I was wondering, is there any replacement for shortening that wouldn't ruin the recipe? And do you have to use unsweetened cocoa? Thank you so much! <3
