Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (for ganache or frosting)
- 1/2 cup butter
- Optional toppings: sprinkles, chocolate curls, whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch cake pans — one for the brownie base, one for the cheesecake layer.
- Prepare brownie batter according to the package directions. Pour into one of the pans and bake as directed. Let cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Pour into the second pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, until set. Cool and refrigerate until firm.
- For the frosting or ganache, melt chocolate chips and butter together, then whisk in heavy cream until smooth and glossy. Let cool slightly to thicken.
- To assemble, place the brownie layer on a serving plate, spread a thin layer of frosting, then top with the cheesecake layer. Cover the entire cake with ganache or frosting.
- Decorate with sprinkles, chocolate curls, or birthday candles. Chill for 30 minutes before serving for clean slices.
Notes
💡 Tip: Make it extra special by adding a swirl of caramel or raspberry sauce between the brownie and cheesecake layers!
