My husband and I were having family guests over the other night, and I wanted to make a nice dessert to serve after dinner. For love of simplicity, I usually dart to the supermarket for a brownie mix. The add oil, water, two eggs, stir and bake is the kind of simplicity I understand. I had a bit of a craving for cheesecake, though, so I decided to browse the Internet and see if I’m even capable of making such a decadent treat. Lo and behold, I found a great cheesecake website and served the best dessert I’ve ever made!

My family and friends absolutely raved about my Brownie Cheesecake, so I love to share this amazing recipe! Not only is it delicious, but it must be simple to make – after all, I pulled it off!

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz prepared Brownie Mix
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 3 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla
  • 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips, Melted (Learn from my beginner’s mistake- melt the chocolate chips in a saucepan on the stove, do not try this in the microwave!)

Directions:

  1. Grease bottom of 9-inch spring form pan. (You can use substitutions for this pan, but it’s a worthwhile purchase- you’ll want to make many cheesecakes after this!)
  2. Prepare the brownie mix as directed on package. Pour batter into pan, bake for 15 minutes at 350F.
  3. Combine cream cheese, whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla. Mix on medium speed with an electric mixer until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour cheese mixture over brownie layer.
  4. Spoon melted chocolate over the cream cheese mixture, then cut through with a knife for a marble effect.
  5. Bake at 350F for 35 minutes. Loosen cake from rim of pan; cool before removing rim of pan. Chill.

This recipe is sure to please! If you’re not in the mood for Brownie Cheesecake (Yeah, right!) – check out the recipe website for a delightfully mouthwatering list of variations.
