# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Once you're done, keep tightly covered in the fridge for 3 days or toss in the freezer for 3 months.
02 -
When they're done baking, let them hang out on the counter until totally cool.
03 -
Pop the pan in the oven and bake for about 50-55 minutes. Look for the top to get a little poofy and lose its shine, plus light golden edges.
04 -
Carefully pour the creamy cheesecake mix on top of your brownie base. Grab a skewer or butter knife and make big figure eights to create swirls all over.
05 -
Beat together the cream cheese and sour cream until it all looks silky. Throw in the eggs, sugar, and vanilla, and keep mixing until everything's blended in.
06 -
Move your brownie batter to the lined pan and spread it out level. Set it aside for now.
07 -
Pour in the sugar and cocoa powder to your melted chocolate and butter. Stir it up with a wooden spoon. Pop in the eggs and vanilla, give that a mix, add the salt, and finish by delicately folding in the flour. Stop mixing when it just comes together.
08 -
Put the butter and baking chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt them by microwaving in 30 second spurts, stirring every time, until everything's really smooth. Should take about 2 minutes.
09 -
Set your oven to preheat at 175°C. Line a 23x23 cm pan with foil and spray it lightly so things don't stick.
10 -
Pop the pan in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Cut into squares and dig in once they're nice and cold.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For a totally smooth top layer, just make sure your cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs have warmed up to room temp before mixing.
