Hot Fudge Sundae Brownie Cheesecake

A decadent dessert combining fudgy brownies, creamy cheesecake, and hot fudge topped with whipped cream and nuts.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 box brownie mix (or homemade brownie batter) – enough for 9×9 pan
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Whipped cream, for topping
  • Chopped nuts, for garnish
  • Maraschino cherry, optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare brownie batter according to package or recipe and pour into a greased 9×9 pan.
  2. In a bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add egg and vanilla; mix until combined.
  3. Spoon cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter gently.
  4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, until the cheesecake layer is set but still slightly jiggly in center.
  5. Let the dessert cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  6. To make hot fudge, heat heavy cream, chocolate chips, and butter in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until melted and smooth.
  7. Serve slices of brownie cheesecake topped with warm hot fudge, whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry.

Notes

  • For extra fudginess, use a rich, homemade brownie batter.
  • You can prepare the hot fudge ahead and reheat gently.
  • Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Optional: drizzle caramel sauce along with the fudge.
