Brownie Cheesecake: The Ultimate Decadent Dessert

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×9-inch or 9-inch round baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Make the Brownie Layer
Prepare the brownie mix according to the instructions on the box.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Layer
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the flour until fully incorporated, ensuring the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
Step 4: Assemble and Bake
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer, spreading it evenly.
Gently swirl the two layers together using a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect, but don’t overmix—just a few swirls for a beautiful finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set (the center should only slightly jiggle).
Let the cheesecake cool completely in the pan before transferring it to the fridge. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to ensure it’s fully set.
Step 5: Serve
Once chilled, slice into squares or wedges and serve. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or berries for a touch of extra flair.
