Preparation:
- Grease the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to prevent sticking.

Bake the Brownie Layer:

Swirl with Chocolate:

Bake the Cheesecake:

-
Cooling and Serving:
- Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the springform pan.
- Once cooled, carefully loosen the edges of the cheesecake from the pan using a knife before removing the rim.
- Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least a few hours or overnight to allow it to fully set and develop its flavors.
