Brownie Bottom Cheesecake
This luscious recipe combines two of my favorite desserts: brownies and cheesecake. Together, they are a match made in heaven.
With only five ingredients, you’ll have this dessert whipped up for your family to enjoy in no time at all.
I’m a huge sucker for cheesecake anything. I’ll eat it any way you give it to me…within reason, of course. Brownies and cheesecake are like PB and jam. Yummy on their own, but absolute perfection together.
I made this cheesecake for my family and it didn’t even last an hour! I swear the guys just devoured it before I could even snag a piece. I did, don’t you worry, but I had to hide it in the fridge under some paper towels.
Ingredients
- 1 box (440g/15.25oz) brownie mix
- 2 (250g/8oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Mix brownies from the package according to package directions. Spread mixture on the bottom of a 9-inch greased springform pan.
