Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Layer
- 1 box brownie mix (or 1 cup homemade brownie batter)
Cheesecake Layer
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 1 cup hot fudge sauce, warmed
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownie Batter: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box (or your own recipe) to prepare the brownie batter. Pour the batter evenly into a greased 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan or baking dish.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating. Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, stir in the vanilla extract to complete the cheesecake batter.
- Layer and Bake: Pour the cheesecake batter gently over the brownie layer in the baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is set and edges are slightly golden but the center still jiggles slightly.
- Cool and Chill: Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
- Serve with Hot Fudge: Before serving, warm the hot fudge sauce slightly until pourable. Drizzle the hot fudge generously over each slice of brownie cheesecake sundae.
Notes
- Use a springform pan for easier removal of layers.
- Allow brownies to cool slightly before pouring cheesecake mixture to avoid mixing layers.
- For extra texture, add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the brownie batter.
- Warm the hot fudge sauce just before serving for a gooey topping.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
