It may look fancy, but this cheesecake is so simple. The secret is the speedy crust—it's from a packaged brownie mix! You don't need to be an experienced cook to make the elegant chocolate swirls on top ;anyone can do it. —Janet Brunner, Burlington, Kentucky

  • 2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until blended.
  • 3. Pour over the brownie crust. Top with melted chocolate; cut through batter with a knife to swirl the chocolate.
