Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 2 maraschino cherries

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugar until mixed. Stir in eggs and vanilla extract until smooth. Add flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder; fold in chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs. Cool completely.
- For the cheesecake filling, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and vanilla, then mix in eggs one at a time. Finally, add sour cream and heavy cream until well blended.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled brownie layer and bake at 325°F (163°C) for 55–60 minutes until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Let cool in the oven with the door ajar for about 1 hour before chilling in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To make hot fudge sauce, melt chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter together in a saucepan over low heat while stirring until smooth; remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, drizzle with hot fudge sauce, top with whipped cream and cherries, slice, and serve.
