How to Make Rich Cheesecake Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare your favorite brownie mix according to package directions. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes.
  4. While brownies bake, prepare the cheesecake layer: In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  5. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup (120ml) milk until smooth and creamy.
  6. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a few drops of food coloring (optional).
  7. Pour the cheesecake mixture evenly over the partially baked brownies.
  8. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is set and the brownies are lightly browned.
  9. Let cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
  10. **Prepare the frosting:** In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup (60ml) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup (55g) unsalted butter, and 1/4 cup (60ml) milk.
  11. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until butter is melted and cocoa is dissolved.
  12. Remove from heat and gradually whisk in 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  13. While the frosting is still warm, spread evenly over the cooled brownies.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set before cutting and serving.
