Recipe Tips

• Set the cream cheese out ahead of time, so it is softened when time to make the cheesecake layer.
• If you forget to set the cream cheese out, you can also unwrap it and microwave it for 20-30 seconds to warm it up.
• Do not over bake the brownie bottom. A chewy brownie base will compliment the creamy no bake cheesecake.
• Let the brownie cool completely before adding the no bake cheesecake layer.
