There are some things, that are already awesome by themselves – for example cheesecake or let’s say brownies. What happens if you combine those two things? Well see for yourself! ;))
Sounds like the perfect combination, right? A fudgy brownie with loads of chocolate, topped with a creamy cheesecake layer… let me tell you – it is perfect! ;)
One bite and you will experience a little chocolate-sugar-fat-shock (and a smile will appear on your face) – but it is cold and wet out there, so a little bit of extra energy can’t be wrong! It will lighten up your mood – a job the sun is not doing right now ;) Perfect for an upcoming “winter depression” or to lighten up your mood in general! Foggy weather and constant light rain? Who cares?! :P
Jule and Susi from kochmädchen.de are organizing a little blog event that is taking care of that right now – they collect recipes that lighten up your mood during these wet and foggy days. This little chocolate-cheesecake-bomb should match perfect for that. Chocolate lightens up my mood always – in small doses of course ;)
Like last Saturday I have a little video for you I made together with Kitchen Stories – I show you step-by-step how to make this delicious Brownie Cheesecake. I also show you what you can do, if the cheesecake layer cracks – which happens a lot if the cake is not cooling down slowly or baked to long or then the weather is just not right ;P The one from the pictures here was perfect (lucky me!). Watch the video here below or download the Kitchen Stories App – you can find me and the video there as well :) Have a nice weekend!
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
1/2 cup (120g) butter
4.2 oz. (120g) semi-sweet chocolate
1 cup (200g) sugar
pinch of salt
2 eggs
1/4 cup (60ml) milk
3.5 oz. (100g) all-purpose flour
For the cheesecake layer:
18 oz. (500g) cream cheese
1/2 cup (125g) sour cream
3/4 cup (150g) sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
For the decoration:
fresh raspberries
whipped cream (optional)
120g Butter
120g Zartbitterschokolade
200g Zucker
Prise Salz
2 Eier
60ml Milch
100g Mehl
Für die Käsekuchenschicht:
500g Frischkäse
125g Schmand
150g Zucker
3 Eier
1 TL Vanille Extrakt
Für die Dekoration:
Frische Himbeeren
Schlagsahne (optional)
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Add the butter and chocolate to a small saucepan and heat up to melt both slowly. Take from the heat and add sugar and salt – stir until combined. Add eggs and milk and mix until well combined. Sift the flour on top and fold in until just combined. Transfer the batter to the tin and smooth out the top. Bake for 25 minutes.
3. While the brownie base is baking prepare the filling. Add cream cheese, sugar, eggs and vanilla extract to a large bowl and mix until well combined. Add the sour cream and combine. Take the brownie base out of the oven and reduce the heat to 325°F (160°C). Fill the cream cheese mix into the tin and smooth out the surface if necessary. Place on the lowest rack of the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes – the center of the cheesecake should still wobble slighly. Turn off the oven and open the door – let the cake cool down inside the oven for about 10 minutes, then take out and use a sharp knife to go around the cake to loosen it from the tin. Let cool down on a wire rack. When cooled place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or over night. Decorate with raspberries and serve.
Note: If the surface of the cheesecake is cracking, you can hide that with some whipped cream – just spread on top and then decorate with the raspberries ;)
2. Die Butter und Schokolade in einem kleinen Topf bei geringer Hitze schmelzen, dabei gelegentlich umrühren. Vom Herd nehmen und Zucker und Salz unterrühren. Eier und Milch ebenfalls unterrühren (Schneebesen oder Handrührgerät). Das Mehl darübersieben und unterheben – nur so viel rühren, wie unbedingt notwendig. Den Teig die Springform füllen und glattstreichen. In den Backofen schieben und für 25 Minuten backen.
3. Während der Brownieboden bäckt, den Frischkäse mit Zucker, Eiern und Vanille Extrakt in einer großen Schüssel gut verrühren. Schmand zugeben und unterrühren. Den Brownieboden aus dem Ofen nehmen und die Hitzezufuhr auf 160°C (325°F) reduzieren. Die Käsekuchenmasse auf den Boden füllen und ggf. glattstreichen und etwas rütteln, damit Luftblasen entweichen. Auf der untersten Schine für weitere 50-55 Minuten backen – die Mitte des Käsekuchens sollte sich gesetzt haben. Den Herd ausschalten und den Käsekuchen bei offener Türe etwa 10 Minuten abkühlen lassen. Dann mit einem Messer den Kuchen vom Rand lösen. Den Käsekuchen auf einem Kuchengitter abkühlen lassen und dann für 4 Stunden oder über Nacht in den Kühlschrank stellen. Mit Himbeeren dekorieren und servieren.
Tipp: Sollte der Käsekuchen Risse bekommen haben, kann man diese mit etwas Schlagsahne vertuschen – einfach auf den Käsekuchen geben, glattstreichen und dann die Himbeeren drauf ;)
