Notes

  1. From personal experience this gets better the next day.
  2. This recipe can be frozen, see my tips above.
  3. You can flavor your cheesecake layer different ways with either extracts, or jams, etc.
  4. You can use a brownie mix instead of a chocolate cake mix if you'd like, the texture might be slightly different.
  5. To get the perfect slice use a hot knife and cut through this.
  6. This needs to be chilled at least one hour before slicing and serving.
  7. You do not need to add chocolate chips to your batter, but it really gives it that extra punch of chocolate!
