Ingredients
1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
1 cup caramel sauce
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions and spread evenly into the prepared pan.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the brownie batter.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until creamy and fully combined.
- Carefully pour the cheesecake mixture over the caramel layer.
- Bake for about 40 minutes, until the cheesecake layer is set with a slight jiggle in the center.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
Cooling completely helps the layers set for clean slices.
Chocolate caramel sauce can be used for a deeper flavor.
Chopped nuts can be added between layers for extra texture.
Do not overbake to avoid cracks in the cheesecake layer.
Best served slightly chilled or at room temperature.
