Decadent fusion of fudgy brownie and smooth cheesecake in every bite. Perfect for chocolate lovers.

# What You'll Need:

→ Brownie Layer

01 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter
02 - 4 ounces dark chocolate
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
05 - 1/4 cup brown sugar
06 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
07 - 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Cheesecake Layer

09 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
10 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
11 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 - 1/4 cup sour cream
13 - 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
14 - 1/4 cup heavy cream

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch cake tin and line with parchment paper.
02 - Melt unsalted butter and dark chocolate together in a microwave or over a double boiler. Allow to cool slightly.
03 - Whisk in eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until blended. Fold in flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
04 - Pour the brownie batter into the prepared tin. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the surface is set but the center is still slightly soft.
05 - In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar, vanilla extract, sour cream, flour, and heavy cream. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
06 - Pour the cheesecake mixture over the partially baked brownie base, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
07 - Return the tin to the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the cheesecake is just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
08 - Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture.
09 - Slice chilled brownie cheesecake into even portions and serve.

# Notes:

01 - Allowing the cheesecake to chill overnight ensures clean slices and the creamiest texture.
