Description
A delicious dessert that combines the rich, fudgy flavor of brownies with the creamy delight of cheesecake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 standard box brownie mix
- 2 eggs (for brownies)
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sour cream, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream, divided into 1/4 cup and 1 cup
- 2 large eggs, room temperature (for cheesecake filling)
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup hot fudge or chocolate sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, water, and oil. Mix according to the instructions on the box. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 15 minutes until the brownies are set across the top.
- While the brownie base is baking, beat the cream cheese with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add the granulated sugar and mix well. Stir in the flour, vanilla extract, sour cream, and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Mix until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing by hand until fully incorporated.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the partially baked brownie base.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). Return the pan to the oven and bake for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, turn off the oven and leave the door closed for 20 minutes. Then, crack the door slightly and let the cheesecake cool for an additional 30 minutes.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Chill it in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
- Just before serving, whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cheesecake.
- Drizzle with hot fudge or chocolate sauce and enjoy!
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened for a smoother filling. Do not skip the cooling step in the oven to avoid cracks on the cheesecake surface.
