Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 2 maraschino cherries
- 1/4 cup chocolate shavings (or chopped chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Stir in flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out with crumbs. Let cool.
- For the cheesecake filling, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and vanilla, then mix in eggs one at a time. Blend in sour cream and heavy cream until silky.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled brownie layer and bake at 325°F (163°C) for 55-60 minutes or until slightly jiggly in the center. Cool in the oven for an hour before chilling in the fridge for at least four hours.
- Prepare hot fudge sauce by melting chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter together over low heat until smooth; stir in vanilla.
- Once chilled, remove from the springform pan, drizzle with hot fudge sauce, top with whipped cream and cherries, then slice to serve.
