ingredients
Brownie Layer
1/2 cup butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cheesecake Layer
3 packages (8 ounce size) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
For the brownie layer: Combine the butter and chocolate in a large saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Place the sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the eggs, one at a time, while the mixer is running on low speed.
With the mixer running, slowly add the milk, vanilla, flour, and salt. Slowly add the chocolate to the batter and mix just until blended.
Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared springform pan. Place the pan in the oven and bake at 325 degrees F for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven.
For the cheesecake layer: Combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed until combined. With the mixer running, slowly add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add the sour cream and beat just until incorporated.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the baked brownie layer.
Place the pan in the oven and bake at 325 degrees F for 55-60 minutes or until the cheesecake center is almost set. It should still be moist, not dry.
Remove the pan from the oven and carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake and brownie layers. Let the cheesecake cool then refrigerate it, covered, for 4-10 hours. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Remove the sides of the springform pan and slice as desired. Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Great recipe. Easy! I put the mini chips on the brownie layer like one reviewer suggested. I made a caramelly topping of cream, brown sugar, chopped toasted almonds and mini chips stirred in after caramel cooled and put the topping around the outer edge of the cake. A "flower " of Trader Joes dark chocolate petals in the center. Beautiful, professional, yummmmm!

This is an amazing recipe! I add some chocolate chunks, heath, or caramel (and sometimes all 3) to the cheesecake batter to change it up some! Keep in mind that cook times will vary based on altitude. If you are in CO you will have a different turnout than if you were in FL. All in all, this has been a fav for myself and all my friends and family! Highly reccomended!

I made this recipe for Thankgiving and it was a hit! No one believed that I made it myself, they all thought it was store bought. Every gathering since I've been asked to make it. This is a great recipe, and easy to follow =)

I didn't make it myself. However, I wasn't a cheesecake fan until this came by my way. It looked too good to pass up. This one had no chips and topped with canned cherries (another thing I wasn't too fond of). It's safe to say this recipe has completely converted me :) I was a teenager when I ate this. I am glad to find the recipe now in my adult yrs. so I can share it with my family.

I love this recipe it is soooo good. The only thing I do differenty is I put the choc chips on top of the brownie once it been cooked. Its more like a choc layer between the cheesecake and the brownie and its delish!

This cheesecake was so good!! It turned out perfectly! I did have to bake the brownie part longer that the recipe says, 15 minutes more, but it turned out fine. I drizzled the final product with chocolate and sprinkled walnuts on top. I am making this cheesecake for my upcoming wedding!

I made this for a group of college students and they practically licked their plates! Very easy, great flavor - with or without the mini chips.

I made this as a desert for a BBQ I had on a Friday..it was such a hit that I made it again for my sister-in-law's get-together 2 days layer, only this time I omitted the brownies part and just made it as a strawberry cheesecake. Let me tell you, no one believer that I made it! This is an awesome recipe, not hard at all to make, just a little long in cooking time!
The brownie bottom would not bake in the time allotted. Underbaked it was gooy under the cheesecake. I baked the brownie 6 min longer at 350 and it really was still underbaked. I carefully measured and double checked the recipe for an error I might have made. There were no errors. I would replace the brownie recipe
