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 (450g) 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 to prepare it for the brownie base.
- Make the Brownie Base: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour this batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are set but the center remains slightly soft.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar while continuing to beat. Add eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition. Mix in the brewed coffee, flour, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Combine and Bake: Remove the brownie base from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Pour the cheesecake batter evenly over the brownie layer. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and bake the combined layers for 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake center is set with a slight jiggle when shaken gently.
- Cool and Chill: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for one hour to cool gradually. This helps prevent cracking. Afterward, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to fully set before serving.
Notes
- Use brewed strong coffee for a more intense coffee flavor in the cheesecake layer.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing to avoid lumps.
- Do not overbake the brownie base to maintain its fudgy texture under the cheesecake layer.
- Chilling the cheesecake overnight will improve texture and flavor.
- Use a water bath if possible during the cheesecake baking step to prevent cracking, though it’s optional.
