Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 – 9×13 box brownie mix
- Nonstick spray for greasing pan
Cheesecake Layer
- 1 – 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 2 Tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 – 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 egg
- 4 teaspoons coffee extract
- 2 Tablespoons flour
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup miniature chocolate chips
- 24 Halloween Oreo cookies
- 1 – 8 ounce container Cool Whip
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Generously spray a 9×13 inch baking pan with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Brownie Batter: Mix the brownie batter according to the directions on the box. Once mixed, spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared 9×13 pan.
- Place Oreo Cookies: Arrange the 24 Oreo cookies side by side on top of the half layer of brownie batter, covering the surface completely.
- Add Remaining Brownie Batter: Carefully cover the placed Oreo cookies with the remaining half of the brownie batter, smoothing the top evenly. Set the pan aside.
- Make Cheesecake Batter: In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, and cornstarch until the mixture is fluffy and smooth. Gradually add sweetened condensed milk, flour, egg, and coffee extract and continue to blend until fully combined and smooth.
- Top Brownies with Cheesecake Layer: Spoon the cheesecake batter carefully over the brownie batter layer in the pan to avoid disturbing the layers beneath.
- Add Chocolate Chips and Bake: Sprinkle 1 cup of miniature chocolate chips evenly over the cheesecake layer. Bake the assembled dessert in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the cheesecake topping is set and lightly golden.
- Cool and Chill: Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the brownies until thoroughly chilled, which helps the layers set firmly.
- Serve with Cool Whip: Just before serving, spread or dollop Cool Whip evenly over the top for a creamy finish. Optionally, use extra mini chocolate chips as decoration, such as eyes if making a festive Halloween treat.
- Storage: Store leftover brownies in a sealed container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute regular Oreo cookies if colored or themed ones are unavailable.
- If you prefer to avoid coffee flavor, replace the 4 teaspoons of coffee extract with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
