Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box Chocolate Brownie Mix (Standard boxed mix)
- 2 Large Eggs (Fresh for optimal results)
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil (Can substitute with melted butter)
- 1/4 cup Water (For preparing the brownie mix)
Cheesecake Layer
- 8 oz Cream Cheese (Always use softened for smooth blending)
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar (Adjust based on preference)
- 2 Large Eggs (Room temperature for creamier texture)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Using pure vanilla will enhance flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan to ensure the brownie and cheesecake do not stick.
- Make Brownie Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate brownie mix with 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1/4 cup water following the package instructions. Stir just until combined to maintain fudginess.
- Bake Brownie Layer: Pour the prepared brownie batter into the greased springform pan and bake for about 30 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is slightly soft.
- Prepare Cheesecake Mixture: In a separate mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 large room temperature eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble and Bake Cheesecake: Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the baked brownie layer. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and bake the assembled dessert for an additional 50 minutes or until the cheesecake is mostly set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Cool and Set: Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.
- Serve: Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan before slicing and serving your decadent brownie bottom cheesecake.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs and softened cream cheese for the smoothest cheesecake texture.
- Adjust sugar in the cheesecake layer according to sweetness preference.
- Allow the dessert to chill thoroughly for clean slicing and the best flavor.
- For a richer brownie flavor, substitute vegetable oil with melted butter.
- Make sure not to overbake the cheesecake layer to avoid cracks.
