Easy Caramel Brownie Cheesecake

Decadent triple-layer dessert featuring a fudgy brownie base, creamy cheesecake layer, and a salted caramel drizzle, perfect as a show-stopping treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box brownie mix (or equivalent homemade brownie batter)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Salted caramel drizzle for topping
  • Optional: sea salt flakes for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare brownie batter according to package instructions or your recipe.
  2. Pour half of the brownie batter into a greased 9×9 inch baking pan, spreading evenly.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the brownie layer in the pan.
  5. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake layer and spread gently to cover.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted just into the brownie layer comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  7. Remove from oven and immediately drizzle caramel sauce over the top. Use a knife to swirl the caramel through the top layer.
  8. Let cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
  9. Before serving, optionally drizzle additional salted caramel and sprinkle sea salt flakes on top.

Notes

Use full-fat cream cheese for better texture; chilling the cheesecake layer before adding the top brownie layer can help prevent mixing. For extra richness, warm the caramel slightly before drizzling.
