The good recipe is at the beginning of this video and I also show you a failed attempt when I followed the recipe in the cookbook.
Found this one in a Betty Crocker publication that was currently on shelves near the cash register of my grocery store. It is called “cake pops, brownies and more”.

Brownie layer
One 16oz package of brownie mix, batter prepared according to package

Cheesecake layer:
4 -8 oz packages of cream cheese at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
1/4 cup flour
1 oz semisweet baking chocolate melted and cooled slightly
Food colour

Line a 9×13″ pan with foil, letting the foil overhang the pan slightly (to be able to lift the cheesecake out afterwards) Grease the foil well.
Pour the brownie batter into the bottom of the pan, spread evenly and bake at 350F until brownies are done. Let cool about 15 minutes.

Blend cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Blend in eggs one at a time and then blend in flour.
Remove 1/4 to 1/2 cup of batter for each colour you want to make.
Tint the portion of batter with food colour, for brown you can add melted chocolate. I used 1 oz of melted semi for 1/2 cup batter.

Pour white cream cheese batter over the brownie layer and spread out evenly. Place coloured cream cheese batter in piping or zip lock bags and pipe on dots on the surface of the white batter.

Bake at 325 F for 30-40 minutes until cheesecake is set. Do not bake until brown, just until when you touch the center is isn't liquid or jiggly any more.
Let cool 1 hour at room temperature and then at least 2 hours in the fridge until completely chilled. Remove from pan and cut into squares. Keep refrigerated. This may be frozen.

    I don’t use water baths and my cheesecakes have never cracked. I read that
    once the cheesecake is baked and done, to just leave it in the oven until
    the oven is cool to prevent cracking. I’ve done this every time and it
    seems to have worked for me. 🙂

    “I took the cheesecake batter off; we ate the cheesecake.” LOL Glad
    everything didn’t go to waste!

    i think she meant why did you put so much of the pam baking spray on the
    tin foil 🙂

    What does that Cream Cheese tasts like? Cause I don’t know if we have it in
    Denmark, and I for the love of god, really wanna make this.. It just looks
    way too great, hehe. We have something called Philadelphia. You can get it
    in many variations, but original, is just plane with no really flavoring.
    It’s a very soft consistency, tho I’m not sure it’s the same. You can
    spread it on a bread and just eat it like that. I’d really like a feedback!
    Thanks! 🙂

    Our cream cheese is often called Philadelphia cream cheese, so I think you
    have the same product. Very soft and spreadable and a very mild flavour

    several of your recipes. They are delish. Is there any way I could
    transform your recipes GLUTEN FREE? I have done some. but I was wondering

    GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR YOUR RECIPES? ALSO HOW DO I GET AN ANSWER? I SUBSCRIBED
    TO THIS SITE .DOES THAT HELP OR DO I GET AN E-MAIL? THANKS ALOT GRAMMIE “B”

  11. yoyomax12 - the diet free zone on April 18, 2013: (Reply)

    I’ve never used a gluten free flour as a substitute before, so I don’t have
    any experience with them sorry.

    I always wondered why I’ve loved your videos so much, and I realised it
    today. You remind me so much of my mother. Since I’m in college I guess I
    cope by watching you every other day. So I want to thank you, for these
    unique and fun videos. n_n

    I like that you included footage of the ‘fail’. I know you don’t always
    fail, but I like the inclusion of this.

    omg, this recipe looks really good to make. I think I will make it, but I
    want to change the dot top layer into a rainbow dot theme layer. I just
    really like your Rainbow list :-). Thanks for this recipe.

    Did you tell Betty Crocker when you found the flaw?

  25. Amy MacPherson on April 29, 2013: (Reply)

  26. TryingToMakeIt1024 on May 12, 2013: (Reply)

    I made this today for my mom on Mother’s Day. I made the dots lime green
    and teal though, since she doesn’t like pink. We haven’t cut into them yet
    but the cheesecake part didn’t crack. Hope they taste as good as they look.

  27. Brittany Skaggs on May 22, 2013: (Reply)

    Next time when baking a cheesecake, supply a water bath in the oven to keep
    it moist. It will also prevent the cracking you are having problems with.

    would you mind making some special gluten-free desserts? I have celiac so
    that would make me really happy 🙂

  31. kikiii101 on May 29, 2013: (Reply)

    Yes gluten free desserts please!!!

  32. jamipisces on June 2, 2013: (Reply)

    To not have your cheesecake cracking, you need to put it in a “water bath”.
    I learned that watching “Cake Boss”. Just put a cookie sheet with water in
    it under the cheesecake pan before baking…or put another pan of a water
    on the rack underneath the cheesecake pan while baking. The water vapor
    will keep the cheesecake from cracking. If, while baking, all the water
    evaporates, just add more and continue. 😀

    By the way, I absolutely love that you put video of the failed first
    attempt into this one. Thank-you for that. “Live and learn!” 😉

    i don’t know if you know this now or someone told you but i saw this
    technique in a baking book and it’s also about cheesecake. they put a pan
    with water just below the rack where you’ll put the pan with cheesecake
    pie/cupcake/batter in 2 or 3 racks oven. to avoid cracking.
