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

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix melted butter with sugar until combined. Stir in eggs and vanilla extract until smooth. Next, add flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and finally stir in chocolate chips. Pour this batter into the prepared springform pan. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few crumbs. Let it cool completely.
  3. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract; mix well. Add eggs one at a time while continuing to beat. Finally, blend in sour cream and heavy cream until everything is fully incorporated.
  4. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled brownie layer in your springform pan. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for about 55–60 minutes until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Cool it in the oven with the door ajar for about an hour before chilling in the fridge for at least four hours or overnight.
  5. For your hot fudge sauce, melt together chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until smooth; add vanilla extract after removing from heat.
  6. Once chilled, carefully remove your cheesecake from the springform pan. Drizzle generously with hot fudge sauce before adding whipped cream on top. Finish off with chocolate shavings and maraschino cherries as garnish. Slice up your Hot Fudge Sundae Brownie Cheesecake and enjoy!
