Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, sift together flour and cocoa powder. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer.
Cheesecake Layer
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, pecans, and coconut.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the brownie base.
Baking
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Allow to cool in the pan before refrigerating for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Serving
- Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan before serving. Serve chilled, garnished with extra chocolate chips or a sprinkle of coconut, and optionally alongside vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Store leftovers in the refrigerator wrapped tightly for up to five days, or freeze for longer storage.
