FAQs
Can I use a boxed brownie mix?
Yes! Use your favorite brownie mix and follow the cheesecake layer instructions as written.
How do I get clean slices?
Chill the brownies before slicing and use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts.
Can I use low-fat cream cheese?
Yes, but full-fat cream cheese gives a richer and creamier texture.
Can I make this in a larger pan?
Yes, but the brownies will be thinner. Adjust the baking time accordingly.
How do I know when the brownies are done?
The edges should be set, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Can I use flavored Oreos?
Absolutely! Try birthday cake, golden, or peanut butter Oreos for a fun twist.
What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for longer shelf life.
Do I have to swirl the brownie and cheesecake layers?
No, but swirling gives a beautiful marbled effect and blends the flavors perfectly.
Can I add extra Oreos inside the batter?
Yes! Crush some Oreos and mix them into the brownie batter for extra cookies-and-cream flavor.
Are these brownies best served warm or chilled?
They taste great both ways! Warm for a gooey texture or chilled for a firmer bite.
