In reply to Anne. Hi Anne! It's not necessary to leave them in there after they're done baking, we haven't had an issue with the cheesecake layer cracking. Hope you enjoy!

After the bake time is over, should I turn the oven off, open the oven door, and leave the brownies in the turned-off oven for 30 minutes to prevent cracks forming in the cheesecake layer? Or is that not necessary? Thanks!

In reply to Christine. I'm so glad you enjoyed them ultimately, Christine! Using a box mix could alter your bake times, but I'm glad you were able to enjoy them. :)

Hi, I have to let you know how outrageously good this recipe is. This is the THIRD time I have made it and it’s only gotten better. Your site is my go to for all my goodies btw. Thanks so so much for sharing!!

I used Ghirardelli triple chocolate mix, I would bake the brownies longer before adding cheesecake mix. I think 20-25 minutes might get the box mix to just set since it’s a thinner batter. Layer of cheesecake was thicker in middle because I poured it instead of carefully spooning. The middle was underdone when following times of scratch recipe but otherwise very good.

In reply to Nadia. Hi Nadia! It's best to have them at room temperature as they will combine more easily. :)

In reply to JoAnn. Hi Sam, I'm planning to make these for my birthday this weekend but I'm wondering whether all 4 eggs and sour cream should be room temperature or not? It doesn't state it in the recipe but I know it's recommended for a lot of recipies

In reply to Marilyn Mitchell. Hi Marilyn! I actually make this as listed and take a picture of it. I don't change anything for pictures as I don't want to portray something that isn't real. Did you make any alterations to the recipe? Did you use the brownie recipe listed? It should be about half brownie half cheesecake.

hello, l was looking for a recipe that was cheesecake more than brownie. l saw your Pic and tried your recipe. It did not trun out like your Pic. It definitely is more brownie than cheesecake. Good but perhaps you should change your Pic so others won’t be disappointed. l can send a pic if requested.

Hi, just thought I’d say that if you add some warm water to the small amount of brow nice it makes the swirl a lot easier.

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!

In reply to Emily @ Sugar Spun Run. I would love to make this for a birthday at work but would need to make it in a half sheet pan. would I double or triple this recipe?

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….

In reply to Jennifer Vaughn. 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!
