Dense, fudgy brownies layered with tangy cheesecake topping studded with chocolate mints and drizzled with chocolate ganache. Who’s in?My husband spent more than a month deciding on what he wanted as a birthday dessert. We sang “Happy Birthday” with friends and even went to the beach for a mini birthday getaway before he finally chose chocolate mint brownie cheesecake a month after his birthday.Husband earned every last sweet forkful the week we finally baked this decadent brownie cheesecake. He spent hours under the hot sun cleaning up our messy lawn, rotating the soil in the garden, and even putting up a fence in our yard so the littles can play outside safely. He deserved this lush dessert and so much more!This brownie cheesecake is rich. Let’s just say that I, the self-professed Dessert Queen cannot eat more than one piece. It’s filthy rich and worth absolutely every.single.calorie. I mean, just look at this… Aims fork at screen. Did I mention that it’s easy to make too?With the help of my favorite brownie mix, all you have to do is bake the brownie layer, whip together the cheesecake topping, and layer it all together. The chocolate ganache is a matter of heat, stir, pour. Folks, it really doesn’t get much simpler to get a sensational dessert out of your very own kitchen. Trust me, anybody can do this!

To tell you the truth, using food coloring really freaks me out. I get it that fresh mint leaves are green. I do not get why adding green food coloring to mint-flavored foods would ever boost it’s mint factor.  Anybody with me? What strange-but-common notions about food really irk you?
