Instructions

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 30-second intervals and cool slightly.
  • Whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until frothy. Gradually mix in the melted butter.
  • Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mix until combined.
  • Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan with a spatula.
  • Beat together the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Dollop over the brownie batter.
  • Melt the caramel candies and heavy cream in the microwave until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Drizzle over the cheesecake layer.
  • Swirl the caramel into the cheesecake layer gently to create a marbled effect.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares for best flavor.
