  • 16 oz Cream Cheese provides a rich, creamy base; low-fat can substitute but may alter texture.

For the Brownie Base

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Ultimate Brownie Cheesecake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix with melted butter according to the package instructions, stirring until smooth. Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch springform pan and spread it evenly. Bake the brownie base for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
  2. While the brownie bakes, beat the cream cheese with granulated sugar using an electric mixer until it’s creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing just until each is incorporated, then blend in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Once the brownie base has cooled, pour the cheesecake filling over the top, ensuring an even layer.
  4. Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, until slightly jiggly in the center; avoid overbaking.
  5. After baking, leave the cheesecake in the turned-off oven with the door ajar for about 1 hour. Once cool, transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
