Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder. Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs until smooth. Gradually add flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until fully incorporated. Pour the brownie batter evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Mix Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and continue to beat until well combined. Mix in eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring a smooth and uniform mixture.
- Layer Cheesecake Over Brownie Batter: Carefully spoon or pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared brownie batter in the pan. Gently spread it out into an even layer using a spatula.
- Bake Until Set: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Bake the layered dessert for 45-55 minutes or until the cheesecake topping is set and edges are lightly golden. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool Completely Before Slicing: Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to ensure the cheesecake sets firmly. Slice into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps in the filling.
- You can swirl the cheesecake filling into the brownie batter for a marbled effect before baking.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- To serve, let the cheesecake sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes for easier slicing.
