Strawberry Cheesecake Brownies

Luscious. Creamy. Rich. You can make a cheesecake that fits this description if you adhere to the following steps:

Have all your ingredients at room temperature before you start (If you’re in a hurry. place eggs in a bowl of hot tap water and soften cream cheese in the microwave for 15 seconds)
Bake your cheesecake in – or over- a water bath.
Don’t open the door while it’s baking
The center should still jiggle a little- carryover cooking will happen while it cools
Cool it on a rack and don’t refrigerate it until it’s completely cool

Remember that all cheesecakes taste best made a day ahead. They freeze beautifully- wrap them really well and freeze for up to 2 months.
For the neatest, cleanest pieces, slice it cold or frozen but let the slices come to room temperature before serving.
