Description
This recipe combines gooey triple chocolate brownie and velvety cheesecake into one irresistible creation, perfect for special occasions or a weekend treat.
Ingredients
- Unsalted butter, melted
- Granulated sugar
- Brown sugar
- Cocoa powder, unsweetened
- All-purpose flour
- Salt
- Large eggs, room temperature
- Vanilla extract
- Chocolate chips, semi-sweet or dark
- Cream cheese, softened
- Sour cream
- Chocolate ganache (optional)
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Fresh berries (optional)
- Chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottom of your pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt, folding gently until no dry streaks remain. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly soft. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract, ensuring everything is fully incorporated.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled brownie base, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Once fully chilled, decorate the cheesecake with your favorite toppings, like ganache, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
Notes
[‘Don’t overbake the brownie layer; it should be slightly underdone when removed from the oven.’, ‘Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for a smooth cheesecake batter.’, ‘Chill thoroughly for clean slices and best texture.’, ‘Customize toppings with ganache, fruit sauces, or caramel.’]
