Hot Fudge Sundae Brownie Cheesecake
This dessert combines a rich brownie base with a creamy cheesecake layer, topped by a warm chocolate ganache and whipped cream with chopped peanuts. The layers create a dense and indulgent treat with a fudgy texture from the brownie and smoothness from the cream cheese topping. The chocolate ganache adds extra richness, while the whipped cream and peanuts provide lightness and crunch. It is baked, chilled, and assembled for a classic sundae-inspired experience.
