Indulge in the ultimate combination of brownies and cheesecake with this decadent Brownie Bottom Cheesecake recipe. It's a chocolate lover's dream come true!

Ingredients: 1 box brownie mix. 1/4 cup vegetable oil. 2 tablespoons water. 2 large eggs. 16 ounces cream cheese, softened. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. 2 large eggs. 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips. 1 cup heavy cream. 1/4 cup powdered sugar. 1 teaspoon cocoa powder for garnish.

Instructions: Set the oven temperature to 175C 350F. Mix the brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, and two eggs together in a bowl. Blend until thoroughly blended. To make the bottom layer, pour the brownie batter into a 9-inch 23 cm springform pan that has been greased, then spread it out evenly. Cream cheese that has softened, sugar, vanilla extract, and two eggs should all be combined in a different bowl and beaten until smooth and creamy. Add to the cream cheese mixture by stirring in the semisweet chocolate chips. Over the brownie layer in the pan, pour the cream cheese mixture. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes in a preheated oven, or until the cheesecake is set and the edges start to turn a light golden color. The cheesecake should be taken out of the oven and allowed to cool to room temperature before being completely chilled in the refrigerator for at least four hours. The heavy cream and powdered sugar should be heated in a small saucepan over low heat until they start to simmer. Take off the heat. Fill a bowl with remaining semisweet chocolate chips and pour hot cream mixture over top. To make a chocolate ganache, stir until smooth after letting it sit for a minute. After removing the cheesecake from the springform pan, place it on a platter for serving. Drizzle the cheesecake with the chocolate ganache, letting it run down the sides. As a garnish, sprinkle cocoa powder over the cheesecake. Cut, present, and savor!

These Inside-Out Cheeseburgers are a delicious twist on the classic cheeseburger, with the cheese hidden inside the juicy beef patties. Cooking them in an air fryer results in a perfectly cooked burger with a crispy exterior and a gooey, melty cheese center.

Ingredients: 1 lb ground beef. 4 slices of cheddar cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. 4 hamburger buns. Condiments of your choice ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, etc.. Lettuce, tomato, and onion slices optional.

Instructions: Get the air fryer ready by heating it up to 375F 190C. Cut the ground beef into 8 equal pieces. Make a thin patty about 4 inches in diameter out of each piece. On four of the patties, put a slice of cheddar cheese. Place one plain patty on top of each cheese-topped patty. Seal the edges to make a stuffed burger. Add salt and pepper to both sides of the stuffed burgers. Make sure there is space between the burgers when you put them in the air fryer basket. In the air fryer, cook the burgers for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them over halfway through, or until they're done the way you like them. It's best to toast the hamburger buns in the air fryer for one to two minutes until they get a little brown. When the burgers are done, put them together with any condiments you like and any toppings you want, like tomato, lettuce, and onion slices. Let your Inside-Out Cheeseburgers cool down before you eat them.

Indulge in the irresistible combination of sweet vegan caramel and delicate macaron shells with a hint of sea salt. These Vegan Salted Caramel Macarons are a delightful treat for any occasion.

Ingredients: 1 cup almond flour. 1 cup powdered sugar. 1/4 cup aquafaba liquid from canned chickpeas. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 tsp cream of tartar. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/2 cup vegan caramel sauce. 1/4 tsp sea salt for caramel filling.

Instructions: Preheat your oven to 300F 150C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a food processor, pulse almond flour and powdered sugar together until well combined. Sift this mixture into a bowl, discarding any larger almond pieces. In a separate bowl, whip aquafaba and cream of tartar until it forms stiff peaks. Gradually add granulated sugar while whipping the aquafaba until it becomes glossy and holds its shape. Fold the almond flour mixture into the aquafaba mixture in thirds until fully combined. Be gentle to maintain the airiness. Add vanilla extract and continue folding until the batter is smooth and flows like lava. Transfer the batter to a piping bag with a round tip and pipe small rounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Let them rest for 30 minutes to form a skin. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until the macarons have firm, smooth tops and can be easily lifted off the parchment paper. Let the macarons cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, pair up macarons of similar size. On one half of each pair, spread a small amount of vegan caramel sauce and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt. Gently sandwich the halves together to create the macarons. Serve and enjoy your Vegan Salted Caramel Macarons!
