Instructions
For the Brownie Base:

- Beat in eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, and salt. Fold dry ingredients into creamed mixture by hand and mix until well blended.
- Spread mixture into prepared pan. Bake 15 to 17 minutes or until the center of the brownies are mostly set. Allow brownies to cool on a cooling rack while preparing the cheesecake layer.
For the Cheesecake Layer:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar until combined. Beat in eggs and vanilla and mix until fully incorporated.
- Pour cheesecake batter evenly over the brownie base.
- Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the cheesecake is almost set. They edges should appear to be completely set, but the center should have a slight jiggle to it.
