Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 16 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce for drizzling
- 1/4 cup chocolate shavings or chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into small bite-sized pieces.
- In another bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, caramel sauce, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold half of this whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until combined.
- In serving glasses or a large bowl, layer brownie pieces at the bottom, spoon over cheesecake mixture followed by layers of whipped cream. Repeat layers as desired until all components are used up.
- Drizzle with additional caramel sauce and top with chocolate shavings or chips. Garnish with chopped pecans if using.
