Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-inch spring-form pan with cooking spray; set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, stir together brownie mix, one egg and oil until combined. Stir in chocolate pieces. Spread batter in prepared pan.
Step 3
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until brownie is just set. (It will not be completely done at this point.)
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until well combined and smooth. Add in the eggs on low speed and set the mixture aside.
Step 5
Carefully spoon 1/2-can (1-cup) of pie filling into center of brownie, leaving a 2-inch brownie border along sides of pan.
Step 6
Dollop cream cheese mixture over surface; carefully spread to edges of pan.
Step 7
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until center is set, but jiggles when the pan is lightly tapped.
Step 8
Cool in pan on a wire rack for 1 hour. Cover and chill at least 4 hours before serving.
Step 9
Top cheesecake with remaining cherry pie filling. Garnish with whipped topping, if desired.
just made this for a family party the other day and it was a big hit!
Just a question. When I made the brownie mix it was dry and not a batter. Why?
It’s supposed to be like a crust. Not moist like brownies.
I have made this several times, it is one of my favorites, it is delicious
I’ve been making this recipe since 2007…. it’s my first go-to cheesecake recipe ~ everyone loves it!!
I forgot to add the chocolate chips. Will it be a problem?
The taste and consistency of the brownie crust will be a little different than intended, but it should still be delicious. Enjoy!
This recipe is incredibly tasty, I cut and freeze small portions and we eat it I don’t use whipped cream on top. And I don’t put cherry filling on top either.
