  1. FOR THE BROWNIE LAYER:
  2. 1 Shawnee Mills Fudge Brownie Mix
  3. 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  4. 1 Hansen’s Egg
  5. 1 tablespoon water
  6. For the Chocolate Cheesecake Layer:
  7. 3 packages (8 ounces each) Braum’s Cream Cheese, softened
  8. 3/4 cup sugar
  9. 1 teaspoon Griffin’s Vanilla
  10. 8 ounces Bedre Milk Chocolate Wafers, melted and cooled slightly
  11. 3 Hansen’s Eggs
  12. For the Whipped Cream Layer:
  13. 1/2 teaspoon Griffin’s Vanilla
  14. 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
  15. 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  16. 1 cup Braum’s Heavy Whipping Cream
  17. FOR THE TOPPING:
  18. ¼ cup Bedre Chocolate Sauce
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour (or spray with nonstick spray) a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
  2. Make brownie layer by following package directions, mixing brownie mix with vegetable oil, egg and water. Spread batter into pan. Bake 18-20 minutes or until set in the middle. Remove from oven, and let cool completely before topping with cheesecake mixture.
  3. While the brownie layer is baking, prepare the chocolate cheesecake layer. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer until well blended. Add the melted chocolate, and mix well. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate into the batter. Add the eggs, one at a time, on low speed just until blended.
  4. Carefully place cheesecake in oven, baking 55 to 60 minutes or until the center is almost set. Remove from the oven and carefully run a knife around the edge to loosen it from the pan. Allow cheesecake to cool before removing the rim from the pan.
  5. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
  6. To make the whipped cream layer, combine all ingredients in an electric mixer on high speed, beating until stiff peaks form. Once the cheesecake is cooled, top with whipped cream. Drizzle with Bedre Chocolate Sauce.
