Ingredients
About 2 cups fudgy brownies, crumbled (store-bought or homemade)
1 ½ cups (≈340g) cream cheese, softened
½ cup (≈60g) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
Chocolate ganache (melted chocolate + heavy cream), for drizzling
Caramel sauce, for drizzling
Extra brownie crumbs, for topping
Instructions
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until well combined and fluffy.
Layer the Brownies: Place a layer of crumbled brownies into the bottom of individual cups or serving glasses.
Add the Cheesecake Filling: Pipe or spoon the cheesecake filling over the brownie layer.
Drizzle with Sauces: Drizzle with chocolate ganache and caramel sauce.
Repeat Layers (Optional): Repeat the brownie and cheesecake layers until the cup is filled, ensuring the top layer is cheesecake.
Top and Garnish: Top with extra brownie crumbs and drizzle more chocolate and caramel sauce on top.
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the layers to firm up before serving.
Notes
Brownie Base: You can use store-bought or homemade fudgy brownies for the base.
Whipping the Cream: Be sure to whip the cream to stiff peaks for the best texture in the cheesecake layer.
Chill Time: Let the cups chill for at least an hour to ensure the cheesecake layer sets and the flavors meld together.
Variations: Add nuts, sprinkles, or candy pieces on top for extra texture and flavor.
