Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 boxed brownie mix
  • Cooking spray

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups 60% cocoa chocolate chips
  • 12 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups frozen cool whip, thawed
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (full-sized or miniature)

Finishing

  • Hot fudge sauce (store bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Base: Lightly spray an 8-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Prepare the brownie mix as per package instructions, but pour the batter directly into the prepared springform pan instead of the usual brownie pan. Bake according to package directions. Allow brownies to cool completely before proceeding.
  2. Melt Chocolate for Cheesecake: Place 1 1/2 cups of 60% cocoa chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler. Set aside to cool.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Mixture: In a stand mixer bowl, beat together 12 oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup softened butter until smooth and creamy. With the mixer running, slowly pour in the cooled melted chocolate and continue mixing until fully incorporated. Gently fold in 2 cups thawed cool whip with a spatula until homogeneous.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently stir in 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly into the cheesecake batter. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled brownie base in the springform pan.
  5. Chill the Cheesecake: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for about 1 hour or until the cheesecake layer is set and firm.
  6. Add Hot Fudge Topping: Before serving, spread a generous layer of hot fudge sauce evenly over the top of the chilled cheesecake. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Ensure brownies are completely cooled before adding the cheesecake layer to prevent melting or mixing of layers.
  • For smoother melting of chocolate, avoid overheating to prevent burning the chocolate.
  • Use a springform pan for easy removal and serving of the cheesecake.
  • You can customize by adding nuts or using different types of chocolate chips as desired.
  • Chilling time can be extended up to 2-3 hours if you want a firmer cheesecake texture.
