Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownie Base:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
For the Coffee Cheesecake Layer:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan thoroughly to prevent the dessert from sticking.
- Make the Brownie Base: Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in granulated sugar until combined, then whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently, then stir in the chocolate chips. Pour this batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the edges are set but the center is slightly soft.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar while mixing. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, then blend in the cooled brewed coffee, all-purpose flour, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine and Bake: Pour the cheesecake layer evenly over the cooled brownie base. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. The cheesecake is done when the center is mostly set but still has a slight jiggle when gently shaken.
- Cool and Chill: Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the oven door slightly ajar for about one hour to prevent cracking. After cooling, refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to fully set before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth cheesecake layer.
- Use brewed coffee cooled to room temperature to avoid curdling the cheesecake mixture.
- A springform pan is recommended for easy removal of the cheesecake.
- Do not overbake the cheesecake layer; it should still have a slight jiggle in the center to maintain creaminess.
- Chilling overnight improves texture and flavor integration.
