Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a springform pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly.
- For the brownie layer, melt butter and cocoa in a bowl until smooth. Stir in sugar and add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly. Fold in flour gently until no dry streaks remain. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for about 20 minutes until slightly set but soft in the center. Allow cooling completely before adding the cheesecake layer.
- In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until creamy. Gradually mix in sugar and then add sour cream, vanilla, and flour until well combined. Pour over the cooled brownie layer.
- Bake for an additional 40-45 minutes until just set with a slight jiggle in the center. Leave the oven door ajar for one hour to cool gradually before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight before serving.
