Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • Brownie mix (or homemade blend) – quantity as per package or recipe
  • Butter – usually about 1/2 cup (1 stick), melted or softened
  • Optional: Chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) for added crunch

Cheesecake Layer

  • Cream cheese – 16 oz, softened to room temperature
  • Sugar – 3/4 cup
  • Eggs – 2 large
  • Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon

Add-ins and Toppings

  • Chocolate chips or chunks – 1/2 cup, for sprinkling
  • Optional toppings: Nuts, caramel drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Base: Mix your brownie ingredients or use a pre-made mix following package instructions. Spread half of the batter evenly into a greased baking dish to create the chocolate foundation.
  2. Mix the Cheesecake Layer: In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract one at a time, mixing until creamy and well combined to ensure a smooth cheesecake layer that won’t crack.
  3. Layer the Dessert: Pour the cheesecake mixture gently over the brownie base, smoothing it evenly. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter on top and swirl it gently into the cheesecake layer with a knife or spatula for a marbled effect.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips and Optional Toppings: Sprinkle chocolate chips on top for gooey pockets of chocolate. Add nuts or drizzle caramel sauce over the surface if desired.
  5. Bake and Cool: Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 45-55 minutes until the cheesecake is set but slightly jiggly in the center. Let cool completely for the perfect texture before slicing.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps and achieve a smoother texture.
  • Gently fold layers to prevent deflating and maintain a light texture.
  • Line your pan with parchment paper for easier removal and cleanup.
  • Start checking doneness around 45 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  • Allow dessert to cool fully to set layers and enable clean slicing.
