5-Layer Cookie 'Box' Brownie Cheesecake Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: chocolate chip cookie dough, brownie mix, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, large egg, double-stuffed chocolate cookie sandwiches, whipped cream

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

16 oz chocolate chip cookie dough, room temperature
36 oz brownie mix, 2 boxes, batter prepared according to package instructions
24 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
40 double-stuffed chocolate cookie sandwiches
whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Line a 10-inch (25-cm) springform pan with 2 layers of plastic wrap long enough to hang over the sides.
  • Press the cookie dough evenly into a circle along the bottom of the pan, then fold the plastic wrap over the top.
  • Unclasp the pan and freeze the cookie dough disk.
  • Re-clasp the pan, then spray the bottom with cooking spray.
  • Pour in the brownie batter.
  • Spray the bottom and sides of a 5-inch (12-cm) or deeper, 8-inch (20-cm) wide cake pan, then press the greased cake pan into the brownie mix until the batter reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
  • Bake for 35 minutes, then cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
  • In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg until there are no lumps and the batter is smooth.
  • While the brownie is still warm, carefully rotate and press down on the inner cake pan using oven mitts or pads to push the cooked brownie even more up the sides of the springform pan into an even ring. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Arrange a single layer of the sandwich cookies, roughly 14-15, on the bottom of the brownie shell as close together as possible.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter on top of the cookies and spread evenly across the top.
  • Tap the pan to release any large air bubbles, then bake for about 40 minutes until the cheesecake slightly jiggles in the center. Freeze until the top of the cheesecake is slightly firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Arrange another layer of cookies on top of the cheesecake layer, then place the frozen cookie dough disk on top.
  • Tuck in any edges, then bake for 20 minutes.
  • Chill completely, then release the pan. Slice, and serve with a dollop of whipped cream topped with another cookie!

BROWNIE BOTTOM CHEESECAKE



Brownie Bottom Cheesecake image

Brownie, meet cheesecake. Cheesecake, meet brownie. Two of America's most beloved desserts combine to create a showstopper of a sweet. Now you never have to pick just one.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 12h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick baking spray
3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoons fine salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
16 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup sour cream
3 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate syrup, for garnish
Whipped cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 10-inch springform pan with nonstick baking spray.
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and salt in a medium bowl. Melt the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until completely melted, then let cool for 10 minutes. Stir in the sugar and eggs. Add the flour mixture, and stir to combine. Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan and tap the pan gently to ensure the batter is even. Bake until the top is set and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a baking rack.
  • For the cheesecake: Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the sour cream and mix until just incorporated. Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract by hand, one by one, taking care not to overmix or your cheesecake will turn into a souffle.
  • Wrap the bottom of the pan and up the sides with foil and place in a roasting pan. Pour the cheesecake batter on top of the brownie layer and spread it evenly on top. Fill the roasting pan with water until it reaches halfway up the side of the springform pan. Bake until the center is jiggly but the surface is set, about 1 hour. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a sharp knife around the edges of the cake to release from the pan. Let rest on a baking rack until completely cool. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or up to overnight before serving.
  • Slice and garnish each slice with chocolate syrup and whipped cream.

15 small heart-shaped baking molds
2 teaspoons butter
1 (19.8 ounce) package chocolate chunk brownie mix
⅓ cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons water
1 egg
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Beat in 1 egg until smooth.
