- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the brownie batter according to the box directions, using the oil, eggs, and water.

- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the brownie batter.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the center is almost firm.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door open slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
Notes
- For a fudgier brownie layer, use slightly less water than called for on the brownie mix box.
- Ensure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
- Don’t overmix the cheesecake batter once the eggs are added.
- Chilling the cheesecake is crucial for the best texture and flavor.
