Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Layer
- 1 box 9×13 brownie mix
- 24 Halloween Oreo cookies (can substitute with regular Oreos)
- 1 cup miniature chocolate chips
Cheesecake Layer
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 large egg
- 4 teaspoons coffee extract (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract as substitute)
- 2 tablespoons flour
Topping
- 1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make Brownie Batter: Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Spread half of this batter evenly in the greased 9×13 pan.
- Arrange Oreos: Place the 24 Oreo cookies side by side on top of the brownie batter in the pan, covering the layer evenly.
- Add Remaining Brownie Batter: Carefully cover the Oreos with the remaining brownie batter, spreading it gently to avoid disturbing the cookies.
- Prepare Cheesecake Mixture: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and cornstarch together until fluffy and smooth.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Beat in the sweetened condensed milk, flour, egg, and coffee extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Layer Cheesecake Mixture: Spoon the cheesecake batter evenly over the brownie layer, spreading gently to cover it. Sprinkle miniature chocolate chips on top for added texture and flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
- Cool and Chill: Allow the brownies to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate until well chilled to set the layers.
- Add Topping and Serve: Before serving, spread the Cool Whip evenly over the top. Optional: use additional miniature chocolate chips to create decorative eyes for a festive touch.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- You can use regular Oreo cookies instead of Halloween-themed ones if preferred.
- If you do not like coffee-flavored treats, substitute the coffee extract with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for a vanilla cheesecake flavor.
