Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Make the brownie layer: In a large bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until well combined.

  6. Make the cheesecake layer: In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth.
  7. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and heavy cream; beat until well combined.
  8. Add eggs one at a time, beating just until smooth after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
  9. Pour the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cooled brownie base.
  10. Bake in preheated oven for about 55 minutes to 1 hour, until the cheesecake is set and the top is slightly dry.
  11. Cool completely, then refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
  12. Before serving, drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the cheesecake.

Notes

1. Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth cheesecake batter. 2. To prevent cracking, bake cheesecake in a water bath or place a pan of water in the oven. 3. Allow the cheesecake to chill thoroughly for best texture and flavor.
