Ingredients

For the Brownie Base:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

For the Cheesecake Layer:

  • 16 oz (2 cups) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

For the Caramel Topping:

  • 1/2 cup store-bought or homemade caramel sauce
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional, for salted caramel)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped pecans or whipped cream for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.
  2. Make the Brownie Base: In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. Stir in flour, salt, and chocolate chips until just combined. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream until fully combined.
  4. Assemble: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the partially baked brownie base, spreading evenly. Tap the pan gently to remove air bubbles.
  5. Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
  7. Add Caramel and Serve: Before serving, drizzle caramel sauce over the top. Sprinkle with sea salt or garnish with pecans or whipped cream, if desired. Slice and enjoy!

FAQs

Can I use a store-bought brownie mix for the base?
Yes! Prepare the mix according to the package, spread it in the pan, and bake for 5 minutes less than directed before adding the cheesecake layer.

How do I store this cheesecake?
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze (without caramel topping) for up to 2 months.

Can I make my own caramel sauce?
Absolutely! Melt 1 cup sugar with 1/4 cup water over medium heat, then add 1/2 cup heavy cream and 2 tbsp butter, stirring until smooth.

Why did my cheesecake crack?
Cracking can occur from overmixing or rapid temperature changes. Cool it slowly in the oven with the door cracked to minimize this.

Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes! Use gluten-free all-purpose flour for the brownie base and ensure your caramel sauce is gluten-free.
