Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Coffee Cheesecake Layer

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan to prepare for the brownie base.
  2. Make the Brownie Base: Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and mix in the granulated sugar, then beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips, then pour the batter evenly into the greased pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes until set and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
  3. Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using a hand or stand mixer. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until well incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the cooled brewed coffee, all-purpose flour, and vanilla extract, blending until the batter is smooth and uniform.
  4. Combine and Bake: Once the brownie base has cooled, pour the prepared coffee cheesecake mixture evenly over it. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and bake for 50-60 minutes. The cheesecake layer should be set with a slight jiggle in the center when done.
  5. Cool and Chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about one hour to prevent cracking. Then refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to fully set and develop flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth cheesecake layer.
  • Allow the brownie base to cool before pouring the cheesecake layer to prevent melting and mixing.
  • Use freshly brewed coffee for the best flavor in the cheesecake layer; espresso can be used for a stronger coffee taste.
  • Chilling the cheesecake overnight enhances the texture and flavor integration.
  • Use a water bath if desired during the cheesecake baking step to minimize cracking, although the cooling method here helps reduce cracks.
