Disney's brownie cheesecake is a dessert served at Disney's Boardwalk Bakery. It's a brownie bottom cheesecake that you are going to love, and I've got the recipe so that you make it at home!
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:
Now that you've tried this decadent cheesecake atop a layer of soft brownie, I know that you are wondering what you can whip up to really wow them next time. Try one of these out!

Yum- looks awesome!
Mary at n00bcakes says
That's just the kind of recipe I've been looking for recently! Yay, belated Christmas presents and leftover baking goods in the fridge.... >.>
I love the pictures too, by the way; the black-and-white contrasts are beautiful!
Natalie says
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....
Kate @ Diethood.com says

Tiffany @ Conor & Bella says
Ooo, that looks tasty. I *think* my husband had this once. It was a couple of years ago so now I'm not sure. Thanks for sharing!
Debbie says
Your finished product looks amazing! Just wondering how the brownie layer holds up after almost one and a half hours in the oven?
Kita says
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. >.>
Tiffany says
This dessert makes me want to sing! 🙂
Kimba's Kitchen says
OMG!! I only have two words to describe this... Sinful. Delicious!!!
Nessie says

ThatsHowIRoll says
I like that the cheesecake has a hint of lemon. Looks de-li-ci-ous!
briarrose says
These look fantastic. Sinfully good. 😉
Claudia says
This is so inviting - the chocolate creaminess just invigorates my soul. Disney never looked so good.
Daniel says
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!
Kita says
Sorry about missing that step. Yes, you do add the butter before the chocolate chips.
naomi says
These look fantastic. We must be on the same wavelength right now-I have something very similar coming up! Cheesecake and brownies-um, yeah, always a winner.
Nae says
Yuuuuum, can I just ask, what's AP flour please, I've never heard of it here in Aus
Kita says
Hi Nae, ap is just all purpose flour. Thanks!
Stephanie says
i just made this and the brownie bottom is INSANELY dry. Very disappointed as a 9x11 pan full of brownie and cheesecake is wasted.
Lilian Meredith says
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?
Natalie says
I made this recipe and everything looks great! Only part I am concerned about is when is the melted butter added?
Kita says
Hey hey, thanks for the catch Natalie, you fold the melted butter into the brownie mixture. I will update the recipe! - Cheers 🙂
