Brownie Bottom Cheesecake
There is so much going on this Brownie Bottom Cheesecake. It’s brownie batter (baked and let cool completely), covered with cheesecake mixture of cream cheese, sugar, eggs, sour cream, vanilla, chocolate chips, and flour, baked until cheesecake only slightly jiggles, finally refrigerated until firm. To make your cheesecake more appealing, you can top it with drizzles of melted chocolate and sprinkles of chocolate shavings. My kids and I just go crazy for it.
