Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C). I prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions and pour it into a greased 9-inch springform pan. This buttery brownie base is what makes the sundae cheesecake so scrumptious! I often take a moment to savor that rich chocolate aroma filling my kitchen as the brownie batter bakes. Once baked, I let it cool for about 15 minutes before moving on. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
