We are pretty crazy about cheesecakes over here. Once you make this one, you might want to try a few of our other favorites like Tiramisu Cheesecake or Strawberry Cheesecake. They are all so good!
This recipe is very easy. I love a good dessert, but I like it even more when it is simple to make! The first layer is a simple brownie box mix and the second is a basic four ingredient cheesecake.
Ingredients:
- Box Brownie Mix
- Cream Cheese
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Vanilla
- Chocolate Ganache
- Whipped Cream
- Chopped Nuts – (optional)
How To Make Hot Fudge Sundae Cheesecake
- Mix up your brownie batter and pour it into a greased springform pan to bake. When it’s done cooking, let it set until cooled and get started on your cheesecake mixture.
- Mix your softened cream cheese with sugar until it’s nice and creamy. Add in each egg individually, mixing thoroughly after each one. When that is mixed, add the vanilla in last.
- Pour the cheesecake over the cooled brownies and bake again for about an hour. Let it cool in the fridge overnight before adding the toppings.
Chocolate Ganache Ingredients
- Chocolate Chips
- Heavy Whipping Cream
To make your ganache, you simply melt the two ingredients together for about 45 seconds in the microwave and pour over the cake. Easy, right?
Whipped Topping Ingredients
- Whipping Cream
- Powdered Sugar
- Vanilla
Beat all of the ingredients with a mixer until stiff peaks form. Pipe onto the cake and sprinkles with chopped peanuts.
Why Use A Springform Pan?
For cheesecakes, a springform pan will make your life easier. The reason why, is that this type of pan has removable sides. When the cake is cooled you’ll easily be able to remove it from the pan without damaging the cake.
