Ingredients
Brownie Layer:
1 box fudge brownie mix
Ingredients listed on the brownie mix package (eggs, oil, water)
½ cup all-purpose flour
Cheesecake Layer:
16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup heavy cream or sour cream
Caramel Layer:
½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Optional Toppings:
Extra caramel sauce for drizzling
Chocolate chips or melted chocolate
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Base
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a springform pan and set aside.
Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions by combining the eggs, oil, and water. Add the ½ cup of all-purpose flour and mix well—this helps create a firmer, fudgier brownie base.
Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Step 2: Add the Caramel Layer
Spoon the caramel sauce over the brownie batter. Gently swirl it using a knife or spoon, but do not fully mix it in. This creates beautiful caramel pockets throughout the brownie layer.
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream until fully combined.
Carefully pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie and caramel layer, spreading it evenly.
Step 4: Bake the Cheesecake
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door open slightly, and allow the cheesecake to cool inside for about 1 hour.
Once cooled, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Serving & Storage Tips
Before serving, drizzle extra caramel sauce over the top and add chocolate chips or melted chocolate if desired. For clean slices, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts.
This Caramel Brownie Cheesecake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days.
