Hot Fudge Brownie Cheesecake

This Hot Fudge Brownie Cheesecake is so much easier than it looks and tastes better than any cheesecake out there! It starts with a boxed brownie mix but if you prefer you could certainly use a homemade recipe. I like to use Betty Crocker Dark Chocolate mix for this one! The cheesecake filling is simple, simple, simple! It gets topped off with my homemade hot fudge which is also a lot easier than it sounds! 3 basic components, some chocolate chunks on top for garnish and voila…a show stopper dessert!

Cheesecake filling

• 3 8- ounce packages cream cheese at room temp
• ¾ cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 tsp. vanilla

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9 inch springform pan generously.
• Pour prepared brownie mix into pan and bake for 20 mins until just set on top. Let cool 2 mins. Lower oven to 325.
• While it is baking prepare the cheesecake.
