Cheesecakes are among my favorite desserts.

This brownie burnt cheesecake is inspired by a local brownies and dessert company from Bandung, Indonesia which is Amanda Brownies
Amanda Brownies is a well-known Indonesian brand that specializes in producing brownies and other baked goods. Founded in Bandung, West Java, Amanda has established itself as a leader in the brownie market in Indonesia, offering a variety of flavors and innovative products. The company was created with a commitment to quality, taste, and customer satisfaction, and it has become a favorite among dessert lovers across the country.
The brand is particularly famous for its rich, moist brownies that come in several flavors, including cheese cream, pandan, blueberry, and tiramisu, among others.
One fun fact from this company is Amanda is an acronym for “Anak Mantu Damai”. This means son-in-law peace, well it’s kinda cute and hilarious because usually a couple, his gf/ her boyfriend, will take these Amanda brownies as souvenirs to come to their future parent-in-law.

Ingredients of Brownie Burnt Cheesecake
Brownies
- Unsalted Butter; Provides richness and moisture to the brownies. Using unsalted butter allows you to control the salt level in your recipe.
- Dark Chocolate Chips; Dark chocolate has a higher cocoa content, which contributes to a fudgy texture and rich taste. I love to use it so my brownies taste more premium
- Light Brown Sugar; I prefer to use light brown sugar as it contains molasses giving the brownies a subtle caramel flavor and helping to keep them moist. It also contributes to the chewy texture.
- Egg helps to hold the ingredients together. They also add moisture and contribute to the overall texture.
- All-purpose Flour; forms the base and gives the brownies their characteristic chewy texture.
- Cocoa Powder; Adds an intense chocolate flavor and dark color to the brownies. Unsweetened cocoa powder is commonly used to enhance the chocolate profile.
- Vanilla Extract; Adds a warm, sweet flavor that enhances the overall taste of the brownies. Vanilla complements the chocolate and balances the flavors.
- Salt; enhances the sweetness of the brownies and brings out the chocolate flavor.
Burnt Cheesecake
- Cream Cheese at room temperature; The main ingredient for the cheesecake layer, cream cheese provides a creamy, smooth texture and tangy flavor. Letting it come to room temperature ensures it mixes well and is free of lumps.
- Sugar; Sweetens the cheesecake, balancing the tanginess of the cream cheese.
- Flour; is added to help stabilize the cheesecake, providing structure and preventing it from being too soft or runny
- Eggs; serve as a binder in the cheesecake, giving it a rich, creamy texture while helping it set properly as it bakes
- Heavy Cream; Adds richness and creaminess to the cheesecake layer. It also contributes to the smooth texture and provides a luscious mouthfeel.
- Vanilla Extract; for extra flavor
