Happy Fat Tuesday!

The last day of indulgences before the Christian season of Lent,

a time when many choose to give up sweets and other treats…

Let’s go all out and celebrate with a Triple Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake!

This was actually HHjr’s birthday cake,

he is not really a dessert eater, but loves cheesecake

This cheesecake is so easy to make you won’t believe it!

Prepare the brownie mix according to the directions on the box

I used Betty Crocker Delights Supreme Triple Chunk Brownie Mix,

chocolate source #1

Next beat the cream cheese with eggs, vanilla and sugar to make the cheesecake

Then stir in chocolate chips,

chocolate source #2

Put the prepared brownie batter into a sprayed 9 or 10″ springform pan

Top with cheesecake batter

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes

Sprinkle with a few more chocolate chips

Reduce oven to 325 degrees and bake for 20 more minutes

Let cake cool completely and then refrigerate

Now, I have to be honest,

when I saw these Baileys Irish Cream baking chips I got pretty excited

but when I tasted them I couldn’t taste the Baileys, just chocolate

I made a simple chocolate sauce with heavy cream, chocolate chips and Baileys

It was delicious but I still couldn’t taste the Baileys…

But the sauce is wonderful anyway…

Save the Baileys for sipping!

The sauce is the 3rd chocolate source of Triple Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake

It might be a chocolate overload!

So sauce, or no sauce…

Baileys or no Baileys,

You won’t be disappointed!
