Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Fire up your oven to a warm and toasty 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan to get started.

Notes

Tip for the Brownie Base

Make sure not to overbake the brownie base for a fudgy texture that complements the creamy cheesecake.

Cooling Time

Allowing the cheesecake to cool completely in the fridge is essential for the best texture and flavor.
