Description
A decadent dessert combining fudgy brownies, creamy cheesecake, and luscious caramel sauce — the ultimate indulgence for dessert lovers.
Ingredients
- 1 box (18 oz) brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on box)
- 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream.
- Pour cheesecake mixture over the partially baked brownie layer.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the top and gently swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Drizzle with additional caramel sauce and sprinkle chocolate chips before serving.
Notes
- Use a water bath to help prevent cracks on top of the cheesecake.
- For an extra gooey texture, top with warm caramel just before serving.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
