Here's one I have made and its delicious!

Brownie Layer:
6 Tblsp margarine, melted
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 t vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup + 2 Tblsp flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Cheesecake Layer:
3 8oz packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 t vanilla

Preheat oven to 350. Grease 9 inch round springform pan.
Mix marg, sugar, vanilla, then add eggs. Mix in rest of ingredients and spread in pan. Bake 7 minutes (will not be done).
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla. Spoon mixture over brownie and continue baking 45-50 minutes, until almost set. Remove from oven to wire rack and loosen sides with a knife (so it doesn't stick to sides of pan). Let cool and refrigerate a few hours. As an optional topping you can melt 2 bars of torino chocolate and spread on top, once its completely cool - YUM!

Do you pour on the chocolate and let it harden? Is it like a hard chocolate layer on top then?

Also did you ever try this in a toaster oven? Do you think it will work?

Yes, it hardens after you spread it on. You might have to add a bit of marg. or oil so it melts smooth, but it makes it look really nice, like a 3 layer cheesecake.
Actually I have only made it in a toaster oven!
