Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup rainbow sprinkles
- 1 cup brownie mix (dry)
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, then press into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the sour cream until fully combined.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth, then allow to cool slightly.
- Fold the melted chocolate into the cream cheese mixture.
- In a separate bowl, mix the brownie mix with ¼ cup of water until just combined.
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust, followed by dollops of the brownie batter, and swirl the brownie batter into the cheesecake with a knife.
- Pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top and smooth it out.
- Sprinkle rainbow sprinkles on top of the cheesecake.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and crack the door, letting the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to the cheesecake batter.
- You can substitute the rainbow sprinkles with crushed nuts or chocolate chips for a different texture.
