Cheesecake Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the Kova Baking Mixed Emotions Mix, ½ cup melted butter, 2 eggs, and 2 tablespoons water until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 8×8-inch baking pan.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the batter and gently swirl with a butter knife.
  6. Bake for 32–36 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the center no longer jiggles.
  7. Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares.

Kova Tip: Chill for one hour before serving for clean slices and an extra creamy texture.
