INGREDIENT NOTES
Here are some notes on some of the ingredients to make the cheesecake brownies. For a full list of ingredients view the recipe below.
- Butter- You will be melting the butter and chocolate together. Starting with room temperature butter will help.
- Chocolate Chips- Use milk, semi-sweet or dark depending on your preference. I used semi-sweet.
- Eggs- Allow them to come to room temperature before mixing.
- Cream Cheese- Make sure this is room temperature before mixing or it will leave clumps when mixing.
- Oreo's- Place in a ziplock bag and break into pieces.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
STEP ONE: Start by melting the butter and 1½ ounces of chocolate chips together in the microwave. I start with 30 seconds and then stir, continue in 15 second intervals until melted.
STEP TWO: In a medium mixing bowl, mix melted butter/chocolate with sugars. Add the egg and vanilla and mix again. Whisk in cocoa powder, salt and flour. Pour batter into the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
STEP THREE: Place cream cheese and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat them together on medium/low. You can use a stand or hand mixer. Add sour cream, vanilla and salt and beat in. Make sure it is completely smooth.
STEP FOUR: Gently fold in egg. You do not want to over mix this part. Fold in oreo cookie pieces.
STEP FIVE: Pour cream cheese mixture over brownie batter. Bake for 33-35 minutes, or until there is a slight jiggle in the center of the cheesecake. When done baking, turn off the oven, open the oven door and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and set on the counter to get to room temperature.
STEP SIX: When completely cooled, cover the cheesecake and place in the fridge for at least 3 hours to set up.
HELPFUL BAKING TIPS
Using room temperature ingredients is very important when making the cheesecake. This will help the cheesecake be both smooth and creamy.
I like to remove the whole cheesecake from the pan and cut off all the edges where it has browned before serving.
Use any flavor of oreo's that you like. The vanilla cheesecake base makes the possibilities endless!

These were outstanding. Probably one of the best desserts I’ve ever made. I’ve never made cheesecake before and I’m surprised at how well it turned out. I made these gluten free and used Bob’s Red Mill GF 1:1 all purpose flower and GF Oreos. You would never be able to they were GF.
