- Lower the oven temperature to 160°C (320°F) after removing the brownie base.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the warm brownie base and gently tap the pan to release air bubbles.

Notes
Use room-temperature ingredients for the best texture. Don't over-mix the cheesecake batter to avoid air bubbles that can cause cracking. Serve decorated with fresh fruit or extra toppings for a festive touch. This dessert can be made ahead of time and chilled overnight for the best flavors. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
