  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • 1 box brownie mix (or premade brownie cut to fit an 8-inch springform pan)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups 60% cocoa chocolate chips
  • 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups frozen non-dairy whipped topping (thawed)
  • 3/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Hot Fudge Sauce

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Base: Spray an 8-inch springform pan with cooking oil. Make and bake the brownies according to package directions. Allow brownies to cool completely before assembly.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Place chocolate chips in a small bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir well, then continue heating at 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool.
  3. Beat Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, sugar, and butter together on medium speed with a mixer until smooth and creamy.
  4. Combine with Chocolate: Slowly add the cooled melted chocolate chips to the cream cheese mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
  5. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the thawed non-dairy whipped topping until the mixture is combined.
  6. Add Mini Chocolate Chips: Stir in mini semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Assemble Cheesecake: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the cooled brownie base in the springform pan.
  8. Chill: Refrigerate for 60 to 120 minutes, or until the cheesecake is firmly set.
  9. Prepare Hot Fudge Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, cocoa powder, butter, and milk. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Drizzle the hot fudge sauce over the chilled cheesecake before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • This recipe can be fully no-bake by using a premade brownie base instead of baking from mix.
  • Ensure the brownies are completely cooled before adding the cheesecake layer to avoid melting the filling.
  • For a dairy-free option, use non-dairy cream cheese and whipped topping.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Allow the cheesecake to chill long enough to fully set for clean slices.
