Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Base:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder

For the Cheesecake Layer:

  • 2 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Topping (Optional):

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Chocolate syrup drizzle

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment and lightly grease the sides.
  • In a bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder until combined.
  • Pour brownie batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix well.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Gently pour cheesecake mixture over the brownie base and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 50–55 minutes, until center is just set. Cool to room temperature, then chill 4–6 hours or overnight.
  • Before serving, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top and drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired.

Notes

  • Let the cheesecake set overnight for the cleanest slices.
  • Use mini chocolate chips for even chocolate distribution.
  • Avoid overmixing the cheesecake layer to keep it creamy.
  • Brownie batter will be thick—spread it evenly for a smooth base.
