Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 batch rich chocolate brownie mix or homemade batter (use 9x9 inch pan or 8-inch springform pan)
  • 2–3 tbsp butter (optional, if preparing homemade brownie batter)

Cheesecake Layer

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
  • 2/3 cup (135g) sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Topping

  • Generous handful of colorful sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Brownie Base: Mix your brownie batter according to the package or homemade recipe instructions. Press the batter evenly into your prepared baking pan to create a dense, fudgy base for the cheesecake layer.
  2. Whip Up the Cheesecake Layer: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and silky to contrast the brownie base.
  3. Assemble the Layers: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer, spreading it gently and evenly to maintain distinct layers between the brownie and cheesecake.
  4. Add the Cosmic Touch: Sprinkle a generous handful of colorful sprinkles evenly across the top of the cheesecake layer for a festive, cosmic look and added crunch.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake the assembled dessert at 325°F (163°C) for 40 to 50 minutes, until the cheesecake layer is set but still slightly jiggly in the center for the ideal soft texture.
  6. Cool and Chill: Allow the Cosmic Brownie Cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to firm up the cheesecake and meld flavors deliciously.

Notes

  • Soften cream cheese fully before mixing to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth cheesecake layer.
  • Avoid overmixing the cheesecake batter to prevent cracking during baking.
  • Use a 9×9 inch square pan or 8-inch springform pan for best results.
  • Check doneness by gently jiggling the cheesecake center; it should wobble slightly but not be liquid.
  • Cool gradually to prevent cracks forming on the cheesecake surface.
  • You can customize by adding nuts to the brownie batter, swirling chocolate or caramel in the cheesecake, or using fruit toppings.
  • For a vegan or dairy-free version, substitute plant-based cream cheese and egg replacements.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days; freeze up to 2 months.
  • Allow frozen slices to thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving; avoid microwaving.
