- 2 eggs
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup hot fudge sauce
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). - Prepare the Pan:
Grease a 9 or 10-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the prepared brownie batter evenly into the pan and set aside. - Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully combined and smooth. - Layer the Cream Cheese Mixture:
Scoop the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter in the springform pan. Gently spread it out to cover the brownie batter evenly. - Bake the Cheesecake:
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven at 350°F for 30 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to 325°F and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature in the pan before carefully removing the springform pan. - Add the Hot Fudge:
Scoop the hot fudge sauce into a piping bag (or a zip-top bag with the corner cut off) and pipe it onto the top of the cheesecake in a decorative pattern. - Serve:
Slice the cheesecake into 12 servings and enjoy this rich and delicious dessert!
