2. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Place a piece of aluminum foil on the rack under the pan in case there is a leak.
   
   
3. In mixing bowl, whip cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add sugar and vanilla and mix well being sure sugar is dissolved.

Final Comments


I used a Wilton Avanti springform pan with a glass bottom. It baked beautifully and did not leak. Best pan I've ever used. However, the brownie mix did not cook as well as I wanted so I will cook the bottom brownie part longer next time. Don't put aluminum foil around the pan itself and do not drop the temperature for a nonstick pan.
