Surprise dessert!!!



Introducing my newest attempt at a cheesecake recipe: Peanut butter BROWNIE cheesecake! The name and picture caught my eye (and taste buds) right away and I knew, I must make this incredible dessert. Well, and also it was my brother in law's surprise birthday party and he loves chocolate and peanut butter and cheesecake. But seriously, how could all this be in one dessert? Yes it is possible. Here's how...

Peanut butter cookie dough
1 package of brownie mix
4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese
1 1/2 cup white sugar
3/4 cup milk
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 Tbl vanilla exract
1/4 cup flour

Preheat oven 325 for brownies. Bake as directed and let cool. Preheat oven to 350 for cheesecake. Press cookie dough on bottom of a springform pan. In a large bowl mix softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add milk and eggs one at a time, just enough to incorporate. Mix in sour cream, vanilla and flour. Pour cheesecake batter onto cookie crust. Drop brownie chunks in batter. Bake in oven for 1 1/2 hour. Let cool in oven to prevent cracking. Chill in refrigerator then decorate to your liking!

Tips and other ideas:
Bake in water bath to prevent cracking and to evenly cook
Grease side of springform pan for easy removal
Add semi sweet chocolate chips to cookie dough and to batter
Decorate with Reese's peanut butter cups and chocolate ganache or chocolate sauce

Enjoyyyyyy
