Ingredients
Brownie Base
- 1 package brownie mix (plus ingredients required on package)
Cheesecake Layer
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownie Base: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions and bake in a greased 9-inch pan. Let the brownie cool completely.
- Make the Cheesecake Layer: Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in sour cream and heavy cream until fully combined.
- Add the Caramel Swirl: Drizzle 1/2 cup of caramel sauce over the cheesecake batter. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl it into the batter.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Bake for 45-55 minutes until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour before removing it to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate and Decorate: Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake overnight. Before serving, top with whipped cream, drizzle with remaining caramel sauce, and sprinkle with chocolate chips.
Notes
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for best flavor and texture.
- Make this dessert ahead of time to allow the flavors to develop.
- For variations, try adding nuts or chocolate ganache instead of caramel.
