Red velvet Oreo brownies

Ingredients

• 220 g unsalted butter
• 40 g powdered milk (optional)
• 50 g cocoa powder
• 200 g 70% dark chocolate
• 3 tbsp oil
• 3 eggs, room temperature
• 18–20 Oreos
• 100 g brown sugar
• 190 g powdered (icing) sugar
• 66 g all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 7 g red gel food coloring
• Pinch of salt
• 180 g milk or semisweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions

1. Melt the butter with the dark chocolate and oil, then whisk in the cocoa and powdered milk.
2. Whisk the eggs with both sugars and the vanilla until pale, then stream in the chocolate mixture and the red coloring.
3. Fold in the flour and salt, then the chopped milk chocolate.
4. Pour half the batter into a lined pan, lay down a full layer of Oreos, cover with the rest and press a few more on top.
5. Bake at 180°C (355°F) for 30 minutes.
6. Cool a full hour before cutting — the red interior is worth the wait.
