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.

CHEESECAKE WITH BROWNIE CRUMB CRUST



Cheesecake with Brownie Crumb Crust image

I was making "Not Your Momma's Brownie's" by Ria Hannah, which is the best brownie recipe I have had, and totally forgot to add the sugar, I did not realize this until after I baked them. I saw a little mix on the paddle and tasted it and I was like, OMG, I forgot the sugar!!! Well I hate to waste so I tried to think of what I could do with this chocolately mass. It was quite crumbly, and slightly bitter, so I pulsed this in the food processor with Splenda Blend and hence I thought this would be an excellent crust recipe. So I took my Grandma's cheesecake filling recipe and gave it a whirl. It came out very good, Very rich. I baked this in a 9 x 13.

Number Of Ingredients 17

CRUST
2 cup(s) flour
1/2 cup(s) cocoa powder
1 cup(s) butter melted
2 - eggs
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
1 1/2 cup(s) splenda blend for baking
1/2 - stick of melted butter
FILLING
3 - packages of cream cheese (large)
2 teaspoon(s) vanilla
5 - eggs slightly beaten
1 cup(s) sugar
TOPPING
2 pint(s) sour cream
1 cup(s) sugar
2 teaspoon(s) vanilla

Steps:

  • First make sure all your ingredients are room temperature.
  • To Prepare the crust, melt your butter, and cool and set aside, mix your flour and your cocoa powder, set aside, beat your eggs and vanilla and drizzle in the melted butter, dump all at once the flour/cocoa mixture, and blend until just incorporated. This will be very thick, HENCE MY FORGETTING TO ADD THE SUGAR! LOL, Spread this in the pan and bake it for 40 minutes, allow this to cool completely. I broke this into chunks and put it in my food processor with the Splenda and pulse to a crumbly mixture. I Then melted 1/2 stick of butter and tossed it into the crumbs and pressed this into the bottom and sides of the pan. Put this in the fridge while your making the filling.
  • FILLING : Preheat your oven to 350. Cream your 3 packages of cream cheese, 2 tsp vanilla and the sugar, beat the 5 eggs slightly and add slowly to the mixture. Beat this well. Pour the filling in the cold crust. Put this in the oven and bake, Start checking after 45 minutes, when the top just starts to crack it is done.
  • While it is baking in the oven, make your topping, 2 pints of sour cream 1 cup sugar 2 tsp of vanilla. As soon as the cheesecake comes out let it sit for a minute or so then pour the topping right over the warm cheesecake and allow it to cool completely . Keep refrigerated.
  • Just a foot note, you will notice in my pic that the white topping is very sparce, this is because I didn't make enough for that size pan. in my recipe I doubled this and you should have a very nice thick white layer on top.

NO-BAKE BROWNIE CHEESECAKE RECIPE BY TASTY



No-Bake Brownie Cheesecake Recipe by Tasty image

This cheesecake could not be easier - you don't even have to turn on your oven, making it perfect for those hot summer nights. It all starts with a box of brownie mix that gets folded into whipped cream cheese, a little sour cream, and some sugar. If you're worried about consuming raw flour, don't fret! We heat the brownie mix to kill any harmful bacteria and make it safe to eat.

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Desserts

Time 20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

24 chocolate sandwich cookies, plus 8, halved, divided
½ stick unsalted butter, melted
1 box brownie mix
24 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ cup heavy cream, room temperature
½ cup sour cream, room temperature
whipped cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • Add 24 chocolate sandwich cookies to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until broken down into fine crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl and add the melted butter. Stir until well combined and the consistency resembles wet sand.
  • Transfer the crust mixture to a 9-inch springform pan and firmly pat down in an even layer.
  • Add the brownie mix to a large, heat-proof bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). This will help kill any harmful bacteria. Set aside.
  • Add the cream cheese to a separate large bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, heavy cream, and sour cream and beat until the filling is smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Gradually add the brownie mix and beat on low speed until fully incorporated and smooth, 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight, until the filling is set.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the fridge, unwrap, and release the springform. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with whipped cream and the 8 halved chocolate sandwich cookies.
  • Slice and serve. Leftover cheesecake will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cheesecake will be. Use real cream cheese, not a spread or whipped topping. Use good quality chocolate for the brownie crust and the ganache topping.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature: This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients. If the cream cheese is too cold, it will be difficult to mix and the cheesecake may be lumpy.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking. Place the cheesecake pan in a larger pan filled with hot water. The water should come about halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan.
  • Chill the cheesecake thoroughly before serving: This will help the cheesecake to set and firm up. Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Conclusion:

This cheesecake with a brownie crumb crust is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy cheesecake filling is perfectly complemented by the rich and chocolatey brownie crust. The ganache topping adds a touch of extra sweetness and richness. Follow the tips above to make sure your cheesecake turns out perfect every time.
