Strawberry Brownie Cheesecake

When baking the brownie, you�ll want to keep in mind that to put the entire cheesecake together you�ll put the cooled brownie back into a pan to top it with the cheesecake. To makes sure the finished cheesecake is easy to remove from the pan, I recommend putting it together in a springform pan so you can just remove the sides. However since I�ve yet to find a springform pan that doesn�t leak, I made my brownie in a 9 inch cake pan, then put everything together in a 9 inch springform pan. That�s what I�d recommend, but do whatever suits you.

• 1/4 tsp salt

TOPPING
