Very delicious. I used a 10 inch pan so the brownie layer wouldn't be too thick. I added extra mini-chips to the batter (tossed with a bit of flour to keep them from sinking to the bottom) and made a glaze with chocolate chips and milk for the top. Yummo!
I had to make 10 cheesecakes for a wedding and this was one of the recipes I used. I coated the chocolate chips in flour before adding so they wouldn't all sink to the bottom. It was a huge hit!
Really good!!!! I didn't make mine a choco chip cheesecake though... i did buy ghirradeli dark choco chips and i put them on top of the baked brownie. then i put raspberry swirls into the cheesecake and also whole raspberries. I thought the brownie had been cooked too long but it was perfect after cooking the cheesecake. I put a pan of water on a different shelf in the oven with it. Will definitely be making this again.
I made this for Thanksgiving. I used a 9x13 baking pan and drizzled chocolate syrup on the top for a garnish. It was very very rich but everyone loved it! My daughter who does not like regular cheesecake said it was great. The brownie bottom is a good addition for picky kids.
About my 5th attempt at cheesecake & I finally got it right! At the suggestions of other reviewers I: 1) baked the brownie for 25 minutes, 2) placed a dish of water on the second shelf while baking the cheesecake, & 3) when my 50 mins. were up, I turned the oven off, opened the door and let my cheesecake set for 30 minutes gradually cooling down. Cooled and additional 30 min out of the oven & refridgerated. What an awesome birthday breakfast treat for my cheesecake obsessed husband!
This cheesecake is so good but I had to bake it much longer than it said to Almost a half hour longer.
This was my first cheesecake and it turned out perfect the first time! I didn't even have to try! I didn't have springform pan so I used an 8x8 square brownie pan and just cut squares. I took out about 1/2 cup of the brownie batter so the crust wouldn't be too thick. No one can get enough of this desert!
This is a very good and very easy cheesecake recipe. The only change I made was to melt some chocolate and drop/swirl on top. This recipe is very rich so cut very small pieces.
The combination of the brownie and cheesecake works really well together and very easy to prepare. I jotted down the recipe ingredients quick and didn't realize until late in the evening when I was putting it together that the topping shown in the picture is not included in the recipe. I was very disappointed in this - wish I had known I would have also picked up some sour cream for a topping. Luckily I did have some unsweetened chocolate in the cabinet and the box it came in has a simple recipe for chocolate frosting. I did this and then added more chocolate chips - looks great.
I was surprised that this recipe got a 5 star review as this was not edible. We had visitors in town one of which was my dad the biggest sweet eater I know (other than myself) and neither of us could stomach it. I would say maybe it was just me but I made the Chocolate Cookie Cheesecake first and it turned out excellent. I think the ingredients on this one was to blame; where's the sugar? None of these ingredients sweeten the cheesecake enough to call it a dessert; it was more just like cooked cream cheese.
