I updated the pics and brownie recipe in April 2020 for a thicker, softer brownie. I also made it an 8×8 pan but you can always double this for a 9×13 pan.

    Hi I’m making these today and the brownie batter was too thick and hard to spread around afterwards I noticed that this is an adaptation of another recipe and that the other recipe calls for the butter to be melted, was that the issue with my brownie batter?

    Do you have the previous recipe still? I made it back in February and it was sooooo good, and the 9 X 13 was big enough to serve everyone I needed to, and I had leftovers! I kind of don’t want to change the way I made it, but I accidentally deleted the recipe.

    Thanks!!

    Dumb question. You bake the brownies and then pour cheesecake mixture on top and rebake right? You don’t take the brownies out of the pan before putting in and baking cheesecake right?

    Do you bake the cheesecake mix on top of the brownies after the brownies are cooked? Just double checking
