Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 2 maraschino cherries
- 1/4 cup chocolate shavings (or chopped chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a springform pan.
- Mix melted butter and sugar in a bowl, then add eggs and vanilla extract. Stir in flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and chocolate chips. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs attached. Allow to cool completely.
- For the cheesecake filling, beat softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth; gradually add sugar and vanilla extract. Incorporate eggs one at a time, followed by sour cream and heavy cream until fully combined.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled brownie layer and bake at 325°F (163°C) for 55-60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Let it cool in the oven with the door ajar for about an hour before chilling in the fridge for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
- Prepare the hot fudge sauce by melting together chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter over low heat while stirring until smooth. Add in vanilla extract once melted.
- Assemble the cheesecake once chilled: drizzle with hot fudge sauce and top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and maraschino cherries. Slice into pieces and enjoy!
