How to Make Hot Fudge Sundae Brownie Cheesecake

1. Prepare the brownie layer
   Mix the brownie batter according to the package directions. Pour into a greased springform pan and bake for half of the recommended baking time.

2. Make the cheesecake filling
   In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream, mixing until fully combined.

3. Layer the cheesecake
   Pour the cheesecake mixture over the partially baked brownie crust and spread evenly.

4. Add the hot fudge swirl
   Drizzle hot fudge sauce over the top. Use a knife to gently swirl it into the cheesecake layer for a marbled effect.

5. Bake
   Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 45–50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly soft.

6. Cool and chill
   Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before serving.

7. Garnish and serve
   Top with whipped cream and an extra drizzle of warm hot fudge. Add chocolate chips or nuts if desired.

Tips for the Best Cheesecake

• Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps

• Don’t overmix after adding eggs — this helps prevent cracks

• Chill thoroughly for clean, beautiful slices

• Warm the hot fudge slightly before drizzling for easier swirling
