Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base:

  • 1 package brownie mix (including required eggs, oil, and water as per package instructions)

Cheesecake Layer:

  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Caramel Swirl:

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce

For Garnishing:

  • Whipped cream, for topping
  • Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Base: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, combining any required eggs, oil, and water. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the brownie base to cool completely.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Layer: Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix in eggs one at a time until fully blended. Stir in sour cream and heavy cream until mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the Caramel Swirl: Drizzle caramel sauce over the cheesecake filling in a zigzag pattern. Use a knife or spoon to swirl the caramel gently through the filling, ensuring visible marbled ribbons without over-mixing.
  4. Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled brownie base and spread evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set and the center slightly jiggles. Turn off oven and let cheesecake cool inside for about an hour to prevent cracking.
  5. Chill and Garnish: Remove cheesecake from oven and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely. Before serving, remove from springform pan and garnish with caramel drizzle, whipped cream, and chocolate shavings.

Notes

  • Make sure to fully cool the brownie base before adding the cheesecake layer to prevent mixing of layers.
  • Use a springform pan for easy removal without damaging the layered dessert.
  • Swirling caramel gently ensures beautiful marbled effect and enhances both flavor and presentation.
  • Allow the cheesecake to chill thoroughly for best texture and sliceability.
  • Room temperature cream cheese ensures a smooth, lump-free cheesecake batter.
