Ingredients
For the Brownie Crust:
- 1 box of your favourite brownie mix
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup (120ml) sour cream
- ½ 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.
