Turtle Brownie Cheesecake
Turtle Brownie Cheesecake has a chewy brownie layer on the bottom topped with a creamy cheesecake layer and a chocolate ganache, plus toasted pecans, caramel sauce and fudge sauce. Truly decadent!
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and spray pan with cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan, heat butter, sugar, and water, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and chocolate chips until chocolate is melted.
Let mixture cool slightly and then whisk in the eggs one at a time.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt and stir into chocolate mixture.
Pour brownie batter into prepared pan. Place on a baking sheet in case there is any leakage and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly before pouring cheesecake mixture on top. Do not cool too much though or it will pull away from the sides and the cheesecake mixture may seep down.
To make filling, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add brown sugar and flour and beat until fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time. Scrape down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure everything is evenly combined.
Add cream and vanilla and beat just until combined.
Pour cheesecake mixture on top of brownie bottom. Note: The brownie will have risen quite a bit in the oven but the cheesecake layer will help compact it down.
Place back in 325 degree oven for 1 hour.
Turn oven off and crack the door but leave cheesecake in oven for 1 more hour.
Remove cheesecake from oven and cool to room temperature.

I only had a 12 inch springform pan so bought a 9 inch, made brownie layer it raised to 1 inch from the top, so saw the comment it will compact, well it did not and I could only fit about 2/3 of the cream cheese layer on top🤨
I followed the directions exactly (no water bath!), but I ended up baking it for 70 minutes and it turned out wonderful. I’m excited to try it tomorrow
Made this for a wedding shower this past weekend and WOW what a winner! While I was making it, I was concerned that the brownie layer was still quite "wobbly," but it ended up baking up PERFECTLY with the cheesecake! I added a piped border of chocolate whipped cream (1/2c whipping cream + 2Tablespoons each of powdered sugar & cocoa powder) and it was both gorgeous and delicious -- so many good comments. Thank you!!
