How to Make Rich Cheesecake Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Prepare your favorite brownie mix according to package directions. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- While brownies bake, prepare the cheesecake layer: In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
- Gradually beat in 1/2 cup (120ml) milk until smooth and creamy.
- 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).
- Pour the cheesecake mixture evenly over the partially baked brownies.
- Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is set and the brownies are lightly browned.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
- **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.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until butter is melted and cocoa is dissolved.
- Remove from heat and gradually whisk in 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- While the frosting is still warm, spread evenly over the cooled brownies.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set before cutting and serving.
