Step-by-Step Instructions for Coffee Brownie Cheesecake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, melt unsalted butter, then stir in granulated and brown sugars until well combined.
- Once cooled slightly, mix in eggs and vanilla extract until silky.
- In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then gradually fold into the wet mixture along with chocolate chips.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted reveals moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely.
- Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add granulated sugar, mixing until fluffy. Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, followed by cooled brewed coffee and flour.
- Pour this cheesecake mixture over the cooled brownie base, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes; the edges should firm up, leaving the center with a hint of jiggle.
- Once baking time is complete, turn off the oven and leave the door ajar for one hour.
- Afterward, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- When ready to serve, run a knife around the edges of the springform pan before gently releasing the sides.
- Slice with a warm knife, create clean cuts, and optionally garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or coffee beans.
