Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Layer

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened melted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup quality cocoa powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Cheesecake Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (or plant-based cream cheese for vegan option)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened melted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the brownie batter: Mix melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract, then slowly fold in flour to create a rich and fudgy brownie batter ready for layering.
  2. Make the cheesecake layer: Beat cream cheese with sugar until velvety smooth. Add eggs one at a time and vanilla extract, mixing gently to keep it light but creamy for the perfect cheesecake consistency.
  3. Layer the dessert: Pour half of the brownie batter into a greased 9×9 inch pan. Carefully spread the cheesecake mixture on top, then layer the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake. This layering gives the dessert its signature loaded look and texture.
  4. Bake to perfection: Bake the dessert at 325°F (163°C) for approximately 40-50 minutes until the cheesecake layer is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. The edges of the brownies will be firm and fudgy, creating a perfect balance.
  5. Cool and chill: Allow the dessert to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Chilling ensures the cheesecake layer firms up and slices cleanly, enhancing every bite.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for a smoother cheesecake layer without lumps.
  • Gently fold in the flour and mix cheesecake batter lightly to avoid cakey brownies.
  • Baking in a water bath can prevent cracks and create extra creamy cheesecake.
  • Check doneness early; cheesecake is done when slightly wobbly but mostly set.
  • Refrigerate the dessert before slicing to improve texture and flavor melding.
