Brownie Cheesecake Delight (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Brownie Base
01 -
Grab enough baked brownie—either from a box mix or ready-made—to fill your 8-inch springform pan.
→ No-Bake Cheesecake Layer
02 -
Toss in 3/4 cup of mini chocolate chips, semi-sweet variety works great.
03 -
Chill 2 cups of non-dairy whipped topping until thawed before using.
04 -
Soften 1/4 cup butter so it mixes easily.
05 -
Let 12 ounces of cream cheese come to room temp for better mixing.
06 -
Scoop up 1/2 cup sugar—plain white, nothing fancy.
07 -
Heat up 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips with 60% cocoa for that deep chocolate taste.
→ Hot Fudge Sauce
08 -
Splash in 2 teaspoons of vanilla once you take your sauce off the stove.
09 -
Add 1/4 cup milk for the right pourable feel.
10 -
Melty 1/4 cup butter goes in for smoothness.
11 -
Mix up 1/4 cup of cocoa powder for that real-deal fudge flavor.
12 -
Measure out 1/2 cup brown sugar for a sweet, rich base.
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Once your cheesecake’s all set, pour hot fudge on top, cut into slices, and keep it cold until you dig in.
02 -
Toss brown sugar, butter, cocoa, and milk in a pan. Gently heat while stirring till it bubbles and thickens a bit. Kill the heat, stir in vanilla, then cool down.
03 -
Dump your cheesecake mix onto your brownie base. Smooth it out, then chill it in the fridge for an hour or two so it firms up.
04 -
Sprinkle in the mini chips and give it a quick stir so they’re all over the place.
05 -
Mix in the whipped topping gently until the color’s even and nothing’s streaky.
06 -
Little by little, pour the melted chocolate into your cream cheese stuff, mixing until it looks solid and blended.
07 -
Beat together softened butter and cream cheese with sugar until creamy and smooth. Don’t worry if it’s a bit fluffy.
08 -
Pop the chocolate chips in a bowl, microwave ’em for a minute, stir, then zap for another half-minute at a time until they’re all gooey. Let them chill out for a bit.
09 -
Coat your springform pan with a swipe of oil, then use boxed mix or ready brownies to build your base. Bake if needed, then cool it down before the next steps.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Keep your knife hot and your cheesecake cold if you want tidy slices without mess.
