Ingredients for Cheesecake Layer



Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the egg, sugar, and cream cheese at room temperature.
Use a blender to mix the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth. Set this cheesecake base aside for later use.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between until smoothly combined.
In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the eggs and sugar together until slightly frothy. Slowly incorporate the melted chocolate mixture into egg-sugar blend, stirring gently.
Add the flour and salt to the mixture. Use a whisk to combine everything until you achieve a homogeneous, thick batter.
Step 3
Pour half of the brownie batter into a prepared baking dish. If desired, add any berries; frozen raspberries work wonderfully.
Next, pour the prepared cheesecake mixture over the brownie base, spreading it evenly. Finish by adding the remaining brownie batter on top, followed by more berries if you wish.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
Place the layered dessert in the oven to bake for approximately 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Once baked, allow it to cool slightly before serving. This cheesecake can be enjoyed warm or cold, making it versatile for any occasion.
Step 5
Slice the cheesecake into portions and serve. It's a delightful treat that captures the richness of brownies combined with the creaminess of cheesecake.
Enjoy your decadent dessert with family and friends!

Variations
If you're looking to accommodate special diets, here are some simple variations! 🌟 For a gluten-free option, substitute regular flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend. Just make sure all other ingredients are gluten-free as well! 🌾
For those seeking a vegan dessert, replace eggs with flaxseed meal and water (1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water = 1 egg) and use plant-based butter and cream cheese alternatives. You'll still enjoy a rich and delightful flavor without the animal products! 🥥💚
Faq
- What if my brownie batter is too thick?
If your brownie batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or water until you achieve a smoother consistency.
- Can I use different kinds of chocolate?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix dark chocolate with milk chocolate for a unique flavor or use white chocolate for a sweeter twist!
- How do I know when the cheesecake brownie is done?
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—it should come out with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter.
- Can I make this dessert ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare it a day in advance. It tastes great chilled, and the flavors will even deepen overnight!

Cracks can happen if the cheesecake cooks too quickly. Consider lowering the oven temperature and using a water bath in the future.
