Ingredients
Brownie Batter Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups brownie mix (heat-treated)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons milk
Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup brownie mix (heat-treated)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
Topping (Optional):
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips
- Extra brownie crumbs
Instructions
-
Prepare the crust:
In a bowl, mix the brownie mix, melted butter, and milk until it forms a dough-like consistency. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and set it in the fridge to firm up while you prepare the filling. -
Make the cheesecake filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, brownie mix, and vanilla extract, then beat until fully combined and creamy. -
Fold in the whipped cream:
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until combined and fluffy. -
Assemble:
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. -
Chill:
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake is set. -
Decorate and serve:
Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or extra brownie crumbs if desired. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to heat-treat the brownie mix by baking it at 300°F (150°C) for 5-10 minutes to eliminate any potential bacteria from raw flour.
- You can use store-bought whipped topping instead of making your own whipped cream for a quicker version.
