Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 package of brownie mix (and additional ingredients as directed on the package)

Cheesecake Layer

  • 24 ounces (three 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling on top)

For Garnish

  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions, mixing in required additional ingredients. Pour the batter into the pan and bake as directed. Once done, allow the brownie base to cool completely before proceeding.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Layer: Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla extract, eggs, sour cream, and heavy cream, then blend until the mixture is silky and lump-free.
  3. Add the Caramel Swirl: Pour the cheesecake batter evenly over the cooled brownie base. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce on top, then use a butter knife or toothpick to gently swirl the caramel creating a marbled effect without overmixing.
  4. Bake the Cheesecake: Bake the assembled cheesecake at 325°F (160°C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Avoid overbaking to keep it creamy. After baking, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside gradually to prevent cracking. Once cooled, remove the pan and allow it to reach room temperature.
  5. Chill and Garnish: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to set the flavors. Before serving, garnish the top with whipped cream, additional caramel drizzle, and chocolate shavings for a delightful finish.

Notes

  • Allow the brownie base to cool fully to prevent the cheesecake layer from melting into it.
  • Do not overmix the caramel swirl to maintain distinct marbled patterns.
  • Do not overbake the cheesecake; it should remain creamy and slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Cool the cheesecake gradually in the oven after baking to reduce cracking.
  • Preferably chill overnight for best flavor and texture.
