Ingredients
Scale
- Brownie Layer:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Cheesecake Layer:
- 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream (whipped)
- Chocolate Ganache:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, mix melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- While the brownies cool, prepare the cheesecake layer by beating cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
- Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cooled brownie layer.
- For the ganache, heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering, then pour over chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the cheesecake layer and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
- Slice and serve chilled, garnished with chocolate shavings if desired.
