Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Layer

  • 1 package of brownie mix (plus additional ingredients required on the package, usually eggs, oil, and water)

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

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling on top)
  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Prepare the brownie batter: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix package to prepare the batter by combining the mix with required ingredients like eggs, oil, and water. Pour the batter evenly into a greased baking pan.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated. Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
  3. Assemble the dessert: Carefully pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared brownie batter in the pan. Gently spread it out evenly over the brownie layer without mixing the two layers.
  4. Bake the dessert: Place the baking pan in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) and bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is set with only a slight jiggle in the center.
  5. Cool and chill: Remove from the oven and allow the dessert to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to let the layers firm up.
  6. Add toppings: Once chilled, drizzle caramel sauce generously over the top. Garnish with whipped cream and sprinkle chocolate shavings to finish.
  7. Serve: Slice into squares and serve chilled for a rich, creamy, and chocolaty dessert experience.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the cheesecake layer.
  • Use a water bath for baking if you want to prevent cracking on the cheesecake surface.
  • Let the dessert chill thoroughly for the best texture and flavor release.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free brownie mix.
  • Can be made a day ahead to save time and enhance flavors.
