Delicious! Super rich; a little goes a long way. I especially loved the fudgey brownie part (I added the suggested extra egg yoke). Thanks again, Sam!

Hi Beth! Doubling should work. We hope it’s a hit!

Not sure how this will turn out, the brownie part seems oily on top, have just put the cheese cake topping in the oven, let’s hope it works out and not a messy chocolate bottom….I will comment again once all is done, fingers crossed….

Hi Jennifer! I’d increase the recipe by 50%. If you bake in a metal pan the bake time should be similar, but might be slightly longer so keep an eye on it. I hope that helps!

Can you make this in a 13 by 9 pan. If so how would you adjust the amount of ingredients? Also would you need to adjust the cook time?

I use Sam’s recipes exclusively, and am rarely let down. I do think this one needs some tweaks and refinement though. The flavor is fantastic, but the brownie layer is just too thick and dense. The brownie portion could easily be halved or even quartered, which would balance it out much better. The brownie is closer in resemblance to fudge than it is a brownie in my opinion. The cheesecake is spot on. If making again, I’d either use a standard brownie recipe or else cut the brownie portion in the recipe by at least half. But again, flavor is great….just too dense and overpowering.

Hi Stacey! To make this is a 9 x13 you’d want to just increase the recipe by 50%. As for the eggs, it really depends on how small they are. If they are small eggs I think it could work, but I haven’t tried it to say for sure. 🙂

Can I double this recipeand put it in a 9×13 pan? Also I get eggs from my friends chickens that she has. Sometimes the eggs are small. Would adding an extra egg be ok to measure up to a large egg?

Hello, I was thinking about making them with the Ghirardelli boxed brownie mix as well. Can you tell me if you cooked them fully or partially before you put the cheesecake on, please? Also, how long did you cook them after you put the cheesecake on?

Hi Abbie! It may make a little too much batter for the 9 inch spring form pan, but as long as you don’t overfill it that will work just fine. Your bake time will vary, but I haven’t tried it to give you a definite time. 🙂

Is it possible to make this in a 9 inch spring from pan so it is cheesecake shaped?

Easy to follow recipe but the brownie is more of a dense, stick to your teeth, type fudge than what I was hoping for. A small piece is overwhelming sweet. Also my butter separated out of the brownie layer a bit. It solidified after cooling… but I’ll probably look for another recipe in the future. The cheese layer was great. It looked really undercooked but set up well by the next day.

I made these cheesecake brownies for my daughter’s birthday, and they turned out perfectly! I was not able to make the swirl! batter. I made my own dulce de leche from sweetened condensed milk (it was fantastic!), warming it and the brownie batter, but I only got clumps! Great recipe. RE

Oh my God…Sam…!! This was drool worthy. The different textures, the brownie, the cheesecake…it was fantabulous 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽. The only issue I had was the granulated sugar hadn’t melted so u could actually feel a slight crunch….but thinking it could be because my butter chocolate mix had cooled down too much before I added sugars. But trust me no one complained…I was the only person who actually noticed it…🤣🤣🤣. Thank u for a fantastic recipe.

Sam I have yet to try a recipe of yours that I have not loved! I am a cook/baker taught by mom and grandma I have always been arrogant when it comes to my cooking because I know it’s delicious. I never ever open a cook book or look at recipes NEVER. I know by nature how to make the best pies you ever tasted, cookies cakes, curries you name it. But you have literally changed me. Your explanations of ingredients, substitutions etc have opened my eyes and renewed my loved for baking. I have made this cheesecake brownie recipe more than I care to admit. My family prefers that brownie swirl and I have played with it a bit I have had to withhold about a cup of the cheesecake batter to make it work perfectly. I literally use the rest of the batter by dropping an Oreo cookie in a muffin tin and dumping the batter in and baking them into little cheesecakes. And girl that worse chocolate cookie chip recipe! DISGRACEFUL. Your right they are dangerous! I cannot wait til your new ones come out through the week!!! Thank you for your time and effort. If I love you the new bakers most be bowing to you! I have no problem sayjng your a wayyyyy better baker than me!

Hi Rita! We haven’t tried it, but this recipe should work as is in an 11 by 7 inch pan. Keep an eye on it while it’s baking, as it may take less time in a pan that size. You might also consider trying our Oreo Cheesecake Bars or our Chocolate Cheesecake Bars. We hope whatever you make is a hit at your event! ❤️

I have a few questions. I’d like to make this for a church function. I need to make bars (like in a jelly rol pan)? Is this a good recipe I could use? If so what is the difference I’d have to make in ingredients and cooking times? Thank you. I love your recipes

These were SO good! My oldest daughter needed a recipe with a couple dairy ingredients for 4-H for the county fair. She loves cheesecake, so this recipe was perfect. The looked and tasted delicious and she got an award of merit on them! Thank you for sharing!
