Ingredients
  

Brownie Base

  • 12 ounces high-quality dark chocolate chips

Cheesecake Layer

  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened
  • semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional) for extra richness

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Preheat your oven and grease a springform pan.

  • Step 5: Drizzle or spread caramel sauce over the cheesecake layer to achieve a signature sweet, sticky finish.
  • Step 6: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set.
  • Step 7: Slice into portions and serve your decadent Caramel Brownie Cheesecake.
