Ingredients
Part One: Brownies4 ounces unsweetened chocolate cup (1 sticks) unsalted butter1 cups sugar3 eggs1 teaspoon vanilla teaspoon salt1 cup flourPart Two: Crumb Crust1 cups or 5 ounces (3 cups or 10 ounces to double) finely ground Oreos, or other chocolate cookie5 tablespoons (10 tablespoons to double) unsalted butter, melted1/3 cup (2/3 cup to double) granulated sugar1/8 teaspooon ( teaspoon to double) saltPart Three: Cheesecake3 (8-oz) packages of cream cheese, softened1 cup granulated sugar4 large eggs1 teaspoon vanillaPart Four: Ganache Glaze3 oz. bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped4 tablespoons ( stick) unsalted butter cup heavy cream teaspoon vanilla1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Part One:
Preheat oven to 350F. Line 13~9-inch baking pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides of pan. Grease foil.
Microwave chocolate and butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until butter is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in sugar. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add flour and salt; mix well. Spread into prepared pan.
Bake 30 to 35 minute or until toothpick inserted in center comes out with fudgy crumbs. (Do not overbake.) Cool in pan on wire rack. Remove brownies from pan, using foil handles.
Cool brownies, then cut them into 3/4- to 1-inch squares for use in the cheesecake (I used a pizza cutter, per Debfs recommendation). You will have more than the two cups of cubes, loosely measured, than you will need, and Ifm sorry, youfre just going to have to decide for yourself what to do with the extra. Add cubes to cake batter as directed below.
Part Two:
Stir together ingredients and press into bottom and 1 inch up side of a buttered 10 springform pan. Fill right away or chill for up to 2 hours.
Part Three:
Make crumb crust as directed above for 10-inch cheesecake. Preheat oven to 350F.
Beat together cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, then vanilla, beating on low speed until each ingredient is incorporated and scraping down bowl between additions.
Fold brownie cubes in very gently and pour mixture into prepared pan. Put springform pan with crust in a shallow baking pan. Pour filling into crust and bake in baking pan (to catch drips) in middle of oven 45 minutes, or until cake is set 3 inches from edge but center is still slightly wobbly when pan is gently shaken.
When completely cool, top with following glaze.
Part Four:
Place finely chopped chocolate in a medium size mixing bowl. Scald the butter and cream together in a saucepan (or in the microwave on HIGH for 1 minute). Pour the cream mixture over the chocolate and stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Whisk in vanilla and then whisk in powdered sugar until smooth. Spread over cheesecake while ganache is still warm. Chill until ready to serve.
