FAQs
Can I use homemade red velvet brownie batter instead of a mix?
Yes, homemade batter works well. Just prepare it as usual and follow the same layering and baking steps.
How do I know when the cheesecake layer is fully baked?
The cheesecake layer should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center when you gently shake the pan. A toothpick inserted near the middle should come out with moist crumbs but not raw batter.
