Layered Delight: Indulge in Caramel Brownie Cheesecake Bliss
This is a great recipe that gets compliments whenever I make it. It is very rich and worth the time and calories.
Ingredients
- 1 9 ounce package brownie mix
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- 1 14 ounce package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
- 1 5 ounce can evaporated milk
- 2 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup chocolate fudge topping
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- 2. In a small bowl, mix together brownie mix, 1 egg, and water. Spread into the greased pan. Bake for 25 minutes.
- 3. Melt the caramels with the evaporated milk over low heat in a heavy saucepan. Stir often until smooth. Reserve 1/3 cup, and pour the remainder over the warm, baked brownie crust.
- 4. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour over caramel mixture.
- 5. Bake cheesecake for 40 minutes. Chill in pan. Once chilled, loosen by running a knife around the edge, and remove the pan's rim.
- 6. Heat reserved caramel mixture and spoon over cheesecake. Drizzle with chocolate topping.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps.
Wrap leftovers tightly to store.
