Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 340°F and line a 9x9-inch pan.
  • For the cheesecake, whisk together cream cheese, sugar, egg, vanilla, salt, cream, and cornstarch until creamy. Set aside.
  • For the brownies, melt dark chocolate and butter in the microwave. Whisk eggs and sugar until light, then add the melted chocolate, coffee mix, and dry ingredients. Gently fold together.
  • Pour the brownie batter into the pan. Carefully add the cheesecake batter on top for a lovely layered effect.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes until the edges are set but the center is slightly wobbly. Let it cool at room temperature, then chill in the fridge for 3-4 hours.
