Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). First, you’ll want to prepare the brownie base; follow the instructions on the brownie mix box to make the batter and pour it into a greased springform pan. Bake it for about 20 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still a bit fudgy. Let it cool while you work on the cheesecake filling. You can already smell that delicious chocolate wafting through your kitchen, a true hint of the goodness to come! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
