When it comes to simple, but decadent desserts just call me queen of the kitchen. I have combined two of my favorites to make the best brownie bottom cheesecake you have ever tasted. The brownie layer is rich and fudgy, while the cheesecake layer stays creamy and delicious just like the New York style you are used to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essentially we are going to make two different desserts, but in the same pan which makes prepping easy! I’m also using a boxed brownie mix because it tastes just as good without all of the extra dry ingredients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know you can’t beat a buttery graham cracker crust<\/a> on a regular cheesecake, but believe me, the brownie bottom is where it’s at! If you find yourself in the midst of summer and you don’t want to turn the oven on, try my No Bake Cheesecake<\/a> it’s the best if I do say so myself! If you can’t get enough of brownies…try these scrumptious cupcakes Brownie Cupcakes<\/a> too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may also want to add some citrus to your desserts because this time of year it’s absolutely refreshing. If that’s the case, use this lemon cheesecake recipe<\/a>. Needless to say, it didn’t last long enough for leftovers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also love our cheesecake bites in this Fried Cheesecake<\/a> recipe. This recipe gives you all the greatness in a cheesecake but bite size!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We use a box brownie mix to make this recipe a little simpler, but you can also use my recipe for homemade brownies<\/a> – follow the same instructions for partially baking before you add the cheesecake layer! <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
