Ingredients

• 170 grams Unsalted butter
• 240 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 100 grams Packed light brown sugar
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 95 grams All-purpose flour
• 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 450 grams Cream cheese, softened
• 120 grams Sour cream
• 150 grams Granulated sugar (for cheesecake layer)
• 2 pieces Large eggs (for cheesecake layer)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for cheesecake layer)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

Sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold gently until just combined to create the brownie batter.

Step 6

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared springform pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly underbaked.

Step 7

While the brownie base cools slightly, beat the softened cream cheese and sour cream together in a large mixing bowl until smooth.

Step 8

Add the granulated sugar for the cheesecake layer and mix until creamy.

Step 9

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until the mixture is fully incorporated and silky.

Step 10

Pour the cheesecake batter over the baked brownie layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 11

Bake the entire cheesecake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.

Step 12

Turn off the oven, crack the door open slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 30 minutes. This helps prevent cracking.

Step 13

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 14

Once chilled, carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan and remove the springform sides. Slice and serve your gorgeous Brownie Cheesecake!
