Ingredients

Scale
  • Brownie Base:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Cheesecake Layer:
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Caramel Topping:
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Sea salt (optional, for salted caramel twist)
  • Optional Garnish: Whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or brownie crumbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare brownie base: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a springform pan. Melt butter, then mix in sugar, eggs, cocoa, vanilla, flour, and salt. Spread evenly in the pan and bake for 20 minutes.
  2. Mix cheesecake filling: Beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla. Pour over the baked brownie base.
  3. Bake cheesecake layer: Lower oven to 325°F (163°C). Bake for 50–55 minutes, until center is set.
  4. Chill: Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Add caramel topping: Drizzle warmed caramel sauce over chilled cheesecake and sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smooth filling.
  • A water bath helps prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
  • Don’t overbake the brownie base—keep it fudgy.
  • Chill overnight for the best texture and flavor.
  • Try variations: add nuts, swirl chocolate ganache, or make mini cheesecakes.
