To say my boss and his family like Disney would be putting things rather lightly. They love themselves some Disney! The business, the movies, and the theme parks. Go on, ask them.

Something they love the most when they visit is the food. I often hear about the clams, salmon, buffets and wonderful meals that they enjoy while staying there. Disney employees pride themselves on their level of customer service. I'm sure we've all seen the behind the scenes shows that showcase how large and insane the food service alone is at Disney parks and resorts. And that's just one tiny part of the whole Disney experience.

So when my the wife of my boss asked me to make her a batch of Disney's brownie cheesecake from a recipe in the Disney Files magazine, I jumped at the opportunity. She gave me a photocopy of the page featuring the brownie cheesecake from the Boardwalk Bakery, one of their favorite shops.

Disney's brownie cheesecake is too good not to share, so here's the recipe:

    This looks really gorgeous, can't wait for an excuse to make it. I'm sure if I went to Disney all I would do is eat if the food looks like that. Maybe I'd better stay here and sit on my fat arse rather than feed it....

    Your finished product looks amazing! Just wondering how the brownie layer holds up after almost one and a half hours in the oven?

      I was surprised because I expected it to be dried out and rock solid. It was a little over done for how I like a brownie but it really wasn't that bad. My problem is that the BF didn't let it come to room temp before taste testing one. Everything was rock solid. >.>

    This is so inviting - the chocolate creaminess just invigorates my soul. Disney never looked so good.

    These look fantastic! One small question... when in the brownie preparation do you add the melted butter? I'm assuming it's after the dry ingredients, but before the chocolate chips, but I just wanted to double check, as I didn't see it in the recipe.

    Again, these look wonderful and I can't wait to try them myself!

      Sorry about missing that step. Yes, you do add the butter before the chocolate chips.

    i just made this and the brownie bottom is INSANELY dry. Very disappointed as a 9x11 pan full of brownie and cheesecake is wasted.

    Do I need to beat the heavy cream to fold in the recipe? Or leave it in liquid form to fold in with sour cream?

    I made this recipe and everything looks great! Only part I am concerned about is when is the melted butter added?

      Hey hey, thanks for the catch Natalie, you fold the melted butter into the brownie mixture. I will update the recipe! - Cheers 🙂
