Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Cheesecake Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup additional sugar
  • 1 large additional egg
  • 1 teaspoon additional vanilla extract

Caramel Topping

  • 12 oz caramel candies
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the brownies.
  2. Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease removal.
  3. Mix Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar until fully blended. Then whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt until no dry streaks remain, forming your brownie batter.
  4. Make Cheesecake Mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the additional sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
  5. Layer Brownie Batter: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it into an even layer to create the base.
  6. Add Cheesecake Layer: Spoon the cheesecake batter evenly over the brownie base layer in the pan.
  7. Melt Caramel: Melt the caramel candies with the heavy cream over low heat, stirring until the mixture is smooth and combined to create the caramel topping.
  8. Add Caramel and Remaining Batter: Drizzle the melted caramel over the cheesecake layer. Then spoon the remaining brownie batter over the caramel, swirling gently with a knife or spatula to create a marbled effect.
  9. Bake: Bake the layered mixture in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the edges are set but the center remains soft and slightly gooey.
  10. Cool: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring clean slices and proper texture before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the cheesecake layer.
  • Use parchment paper for easier removal and cleaner cuts.
  • Do not overbake; brownies should be moist and fudgy in the center.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely for best flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute caramel candies with caramel sauce if preferred, adjusting quantities accordingly.
