- Bake according to the package instructions and allow the brownie base to cool completely.
Cheesecake Layer
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract, eggs, sour cream, and heavy cream. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled brownie base, drizzle with caramel sauce, and swirl gently.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
Cooling and Serving

- Take it out and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, caramel sauce, and chocolate shavings.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easier blending. Allow the brownie to cool completely to prevent melting of the cheesecake layer.
