Ingredients
  

Brownie Base:

  • 1 box of brownie mix plus ingredients required on the box, such as eggs, oil, and water

Cheesecake Layer:

  • 3 packages 8 oz each cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Hot Fudge Topping:

  • 1 cup hot fudge sauce store-bought or homemade

Sundae Toppings:

  • Whipped cream
  • Chopped nuts e.g., peanuts or walnuts
  • Maraschino cherries
  • Chocolate shavings optional

Instructions
 

Prepare the Brownie Base:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
  • Allow the brownie to cool completely in the pan.

Make the Cheesecake Layer:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and beat until well combined.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled brownie base, spreading it evenly.

Bake the Cheesecake:

  • Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Bake the cheesecake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly browned.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.

Top with Hot Fudge and Sundae Toppings:

  • Once the cheesecake is fully chilled, remove it from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
  • Spread the hot fudge sauce over the top of the cheesecake. Add whipped cream, chopped nuts, maraschino cherries, and chocolate shavings as desired.

Serve:

  • Slice the cheesecake and serve chilled. Enjoy the layers of brownie, cheesecake, and sundae toppings in each bite!
