This Caramel Brownie Cheesecake is a decadent dessert that layers a fudgy brownie base with creamy cheesecake and a luscious caramel topping. It’s rich, indulgent, and perfect for celebrations or whenever you crave something extra special.

Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix (or homemade brownie batter)
  • 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade), plus more for topping
  • Pinch of salt (optional, for salted caramel variation)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the brownie batter according to the package or your homemade recipe. Pour it into the prepared pan and bake for 20–25 minutes, until just set. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed. Stir in vanilla extract, sour cream, and heavy cream until fully combined.
  5. Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled brownie layer and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  7. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Before serving, drizzle caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with salt if desired.

Notes

  • For a salted caramel version, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the caramel topping.
  • To prevent cracks, avoid overmixing the batter and allow gradual cooling.
  • Can be made a day in advance for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a hot, clean knife for perfect slices.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze slices for up to 2 months.
