Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 package brownie mix (for a 9x13 inch pan)
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Caramel Topping
- 1 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownie Base: Begin by preheating your oven to the temperature indicated on the brownie mix package. Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, pour the batter into a greased springform pan, and bake until just set. This will create a fudgy base for your cheesecake.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: While the brownies cool, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then blend in the vanilla extract.
- Layer the Cheesecake: Once the brownie base has cooled, pour the cheesecake filling over it. Smooth the top with a spatula, ensuring an even layer, creating the signature look of a Caramel Brownie Cheesecake.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Bake the assembled cheesecake in a water bath to prevent cracks. This method keeps the cheesecake moist and creamy. Allow it to cool completely before adding the caramel sauce.
- Add the Caramel Sauce: Once the cheesecake is cool, generously drizzle caramel sauce over the top. This step not only enhances the flavor but also adds a beautiful, glossy finish.
Notes
- Ensure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth filling.
- Always use a water bath when baking cheesecake to avoid cracks and ensure even baking.
- Let the cheesecake cool gradually to room temperature before refrigerating to prevent condensation.
- For the best flavor and texture, refrigerate the cheesecake overnight before serving.
- A good quality caramel sauce will elevate the entire dessert.
