Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownie Base:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
For the Coffee Cheesecake Layer:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- Make the Brownie Base: Melt the butter in a saucepan, then mix in sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Combine flour, cocoa, and salt in a separate bowl; fold into the wet ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips, pour into the pan, and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, then mix in eggs, coffee, flour, and vanilla until well combined.
- Combine and Bake: Pour the cheesecake layer over the cooled brownie base. Lower the oven to 325°F (160°C) and bake for 50-60 minutes, until the center is set with a slight jiggle.
- Cool and Chill: Let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- For a richer coffee flavor, use espresso instead of brewed coffee.
- Top with whipped cream or chocolate ganache for an extra indulgent touch.
