Ingredients
Scale
- For the Brownie Base:
- 1 box brownie mix (or homemade brownie batter)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp water
- For the Cheesecake Layer:
- 16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- For the Toppings:
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare Brownie Base: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan. Prepare brownie batter according to package or homemade recipe. Spread evenly into the pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until just set. Let cool slightly.
- Make Cheesecake Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Pour cheesecake batter over the brownie base and smooth the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
- Chill and Add Toppings: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to set. Before serving, drizzle with caramel sauce, top with whipped cream, and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
- Serve & Enjoy! Slice and serve chilled. Add extra caramel drizzle for an extra indulgent touch!
Notes
