Ingredients for - Brownie Cheesecake
How to cook deliciously - Brownie Cheesecake
1. Stage
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Follow the brownie mix package instructions to make chewy, fudgy brownies. Grease a 9 inch springform pan and pour the brownie batter into the pan. Bake the brownie layer for 15 minutes but be aware that it will not fully bake. Set the brownie layer cool for about 10 minutes on a wire rack.
2. Stage
Mix the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a separate bowl. Add the eggs and beat them into the mix. If you're using an electric blender, beat on low speed. You want everything to be blended but not overly blended.
3. Stage
Pour the cheesecake filling over the brownie crust in the springform pan. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the cheesecake layer and swirl the chocolate around with a knife tip.
4. Stage
Bake the cheesecake for 35 to 40 minutes until the filling is just about set. Carefully run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake to loosen it from the sides of the pan and let the cheesecake cool completely. Remove the springform sides/ring and place the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least three hours. Add whipped cream and miniature chocolate kisses as a garnish if desired.
