Number Of Ingredients 15

BROWNIE LAYER
1 c butter, melted
2 c sugar
2 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
1 c flour
3/4 c cocoa
1/2 tsp baking powder
optional: may add 1 cup chopped nuts; may add 1/4 tsp salt
CREAM CHEESE LAYER
2 pkg cream cheese, softened (2-8oz pkgs)
3/4 c sugar
2 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp flour
3 eggs

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Line 9x13 inch baking pan with foil; spray foil with non-stick baking spray.
2. Combine brownie ingredients by mixing the butter, sugar and vanilla well; add eggs and mix. Add flour, cocoa and baking powder, mixing until combined. If desired, you may add salt and/or nuts. Pour brownie mix into prepared pan.
3. Combine cheesecake ingredients by mixing softened cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Add in flour and eggs. Mix well and pour evenly over brownies.
4. Bake for about 40-45 minutes until slightly browned and toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour, and then refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours until thoroughly chilled. You can remove from the pan by lifting the edges of the foil; cut into bars or triangles. May opt to drizzle with chocolate syrup as a pretty garnish. Keep refrigerated in a sealed container.
