Ingredients
  

Brownie Base
  • 1 box brownie mix Use a good quality brownie mix for richer flavor.
  • 2 large eggs For brownie mix.
  • 1/4 cup water For brownie mix.
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil For brownie mix.
Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz cream cheese Softened, to help achieve a smooth texture.
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs For cheesecake filling.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Optional, for added chocolate flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a bowl, prepare the brownie batter according to package instructions using the brownie mix, eggs, water, and oil. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared springform pan.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream, and mix until well combined.
  4. Pour the cheesecake filling over the brownie layer in the pan.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter on top of the cheesecake layer. Swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
Baking
  1. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  2. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

For best results, allow the cheesecake to chill completely in the refrigerator. Serve directly from the pan and consider drizzling with chocolate or caramel sauce. This cheesecake can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for about 3 months.
