  • Author: Lorena
  • Total Time: 6 hrs
  • Yield: 8-10 servings 1x

Description

Decadent cheesecake with a rich brownie base and sweet caramel swirl.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Layer:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Cheesecake Layer:

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Caramel Swirl:

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Make the Brownie Layer: In a large bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add flour and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour brownie batter into the prepared springform pan and spread evenly.
  6. Make the Cheesecake Layer: In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  7. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract.
  8. Pour cheesecake batter over the brownie layer in the springform pan.
  9. Drop spoonfuls of caramel sauce over the cheesecake layer. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the caramel into the cheesecake batter.
  10. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  11. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.
  12. Remove from the oven and let cool completely at room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
  13. Run a knife around the edge of the springform pan to loosen the cheesecake. Carefully remove the sides of the pan.
  14. Slice and serve. Enjoy!
