Decadent Baked Brownie Cheesecake with Snickers

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 325°F. In a heavy saucepan, bring the butter, sugar, and water to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped chocolate until melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, beat the eggs until lightly beaten. Gradually add the chocolate mixture and mix well. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and stir until just combined. Spread the batter into a greased 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Bake for 20 minutes, then cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

   Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until just blended. Arrange the chopped Snickers pieces over the brownie layer, then spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is set and the edges are lightly browned. Allow to cool on a wire rack for 1 hour.

   For the glaze, bring the heavy cream to a simmer in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped semisweet chocolate until smooth. Allow to cool for 15 minutes, then pour the glaze over the cooled pie. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
