Welcome to the sweet and indulgent world of cosmic brownie cheesecake! If you’re a fan of the nostalgic cosmic brownie treats from your childhood, then get ready to elevate that classic favourite to a whole new level. From the rich and creamy cheesecake filling to the decadent cosmic brownie crust, I’ll guide you through each step of this show-stopping recipe.
Ingredients
For the Brownie Crust:
1 box of your favourite brownie mix
Ingredients required by the brownie mix (usually oil, water, and eggs)
For the Cheesecake Filling:
24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream
1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
For the Topping:
Cosmic brownies, chopped
Chocolate ganache or fudge sauce for drizzling
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the brownie mix according to the instructions on the box. Press the brownie batter into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool while preparing the cheesecake filling.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream until smooth.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled brownie crust.
Place the springform pan in a larger baking pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the springform pan. This will prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the centre is almost set.
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once the cheesecake is chilled and set, remove it from the springform pan.
Decorate the top of the cheesecake with chopped cosmic brownies and drizzle with chocolate ganache or fudge sauce.
Slice and serve.
