Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. Grease a 9-inch springform pan and dust lightly with flour.
  3. Melt unsweetened chocolate and 1/4 cup unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat; cool slightly.
  4. Beat 2 eggs and 1 cup light brown sugar in a medium bowl until thick and ribbon-like, about 4 minutes.
  5. Beat in the melted chocolate mixture, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla, and 2 oz finely chopped semisweet chocolate.
  6. Add 1/2 cup flour and 1/8 teaspoon baking powder; mix until just blended.
  7. Spread 1 cup of the brownie batter over the bottom of the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 17 minutes until firm, then cool in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  9. For the filling: Blend 8 oz softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup light brown sugar until smooth.
  10. Add 3 eggs and 1/2 cup sour cream to the cream cheese mixture; blend until combined.
  11. Mix in 1 1/3 cups creamy peanut butter and 1/4 cup flour until fully incorporated.
  12. Using a small knife, spread the remaining brownie batter up the sides of the pan, sealing it to the bottom crust.
  13. Pour the cheesecake filling into the center of the pan.
  14. Bake for about 50 minutes, until the center is gently set and the brownie sides have fallen to form a ring.
  15. For the topping: Blend 3/4 cup sour cream and 3 teaspoons sugar.
  16. Spread the sour cream topping over the cheesecake, leaving a 3/4-inch border.
  17. Return to the oven and bake for 3 more minutes.
  18. Cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
