Delicious vampire bite red velvet cheesecake recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box Red Velvet Cake Mix
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 cup Pecan or Almond Crust (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix with softened unsalted butter until crumbly.
  4. Add in two large eggs and mix until smooth and well combined.
  5. Pour half of the red velvet batter into your prepared springform pan.
  6. Bake in your preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. While your cake is cooling, beat together softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, sour cream, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder until smooth and creamy.
  9. Once your red velvet layer has cooled entirely, pour the cream cheese filling over it evenly.
  10. Spread out the cream cheese filling gently with a spatula.
  11. Top with any remaining red velvet batter by spooning dollops on top.
  12. Return your layered creation to the oven and bake at 325°F (160°C) for an additional 40-45 minutes or until set but still slightly jiggly in the middle.
  13. Remove from oven and let it cool on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least four hours—or overnight if you can resist.
  14. Garnish with fresh berries or whipped cream before serving.

Notes
