Hot Fudge Cheesecake Brownies are rich and fudgy chocolate brownies with a hot fudge cheesecake running through the centre. Once you have hot fudge cheesecake running through your brownies you will never go back!
Remember my Salted Caramel Cheesecake Brownies? The hot fudge cheesecake brownies are based on the same recipe just using hot fudge sauce in place of salted caramel. This creates a completely different flavoured cheesecake which, in turn, creates a completely different flavoured brownie.
These are ultra fudgy and rich chocolate brownies with a light and fluffy texture. To ensure you achieve the right texture, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. Do not skip this step as the eggs are the only raising agent in these hot fudge cheesecake brownies and will be the difference between and a light and fudgy brownie and a thin and dense brownie.
For the hot fudge cheesecake centre I adapted my chocolate sauce recipe so the hot fudge sauce was made from scratch. You could buy hot fudge sauce instead if you are pushed for time. Beat the hot fudge sauce through the cream cheese and you have your hot fudge cheesecake. Easy peasy.

Can you use Cocoa powder for the 1 C dark chocolate for the cake mixture- Hot fudge cheesecake brownie recipe?
Emma Burton
No you can’t. The dark chocolate is chocolate that you will melt. Cocoa is a powder and far more concentrated so you will end up with dry brownies.
