Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package brownie mix
- 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
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to the brownie mix package instructions. Prepare the brownie mix as directed and spread the mixture into a greased or lined springform pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Add in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and heavy cream, mixing until fully incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Drizzle half a cup of caramel sauce into the cheesecake batter and gently fold it in to create swirls.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the baked brownie base and spread it evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles. Turn off the oven and let it cool slowly with the door cracked for about an hour.
- Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Before serving, top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and additional caramel.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth texture. Use a hot knife for clean cuts when slicing.
