Brownie Bottom Cheesecake
Description
Brownie Bottom Cheesecake merges two classic desserts into one distinct treat. The brownie layer is prepared from a boxed mix, baked first to provide a firm, chocolaty foundation. It is topped with a cream cheese mixture that includes sugar, eggs, and vanilla, adding a mild sweetness and creamy texture. The cheesecake is baked over the brownie base first at a higher temperature and then at a reduced temperature to ensure even cooking without cracking.
The result is a dessert with a rich, moist brownie bottom and a smooth, slightly tangy cheesecake top. Adding warm hot fudge sauce atop the cooled cake introduces additional sweetness and enhances the chocolate profile. This dessert can be sliced and served on its own or alongside fresh fruit or whipped cream to balance its rich flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 brownie mix batter prepared according to package directions, box
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened (I used 2 8-ounce packages)
- 2 egg
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup hot fudge sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Grease a 9 or 10-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the brownie batter evenly into the pan; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract and mix well.
- Scoop the cream cheese mixture over top of the brownie batter and gently spread out to cover the brownie batter.
- Bake the cheesecake at 350F for 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325F and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature in the pan before removing the springform pan.
- Scoop the hot fudge sauce into a piping bag (or a zip top bag with the corner cut off) and pipe onto the top of the cheesecake. Cut and serve.
