Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine brownie mix or scratch ingredients in a mixing bowl, stirring until smooth. Pour into a greased springform pan and bake for 20–25 minutes. Cool completely.
- While the brownie base cools, beat cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and sugar; mix until creamy.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled brownie base and spread evenly. Bake for 50–60 minutes until edges are set; cool at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Prepare hot fudge sauce if making from scratch, then drizzle over cheesecake. Chill covered for at least 4–6 hours or overnight.
- Release springform pan, slice cheesecake, and top each slice with whipped cream, sprinkles, and a cherry.
