Ingredients
Scale
2 cups brownie mix (plus ingredients as per package instructions)
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup caramel sauce
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it lightly with cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Pour half of the brownie batter into the bottom of the prepared springform pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract, eggs, sour cream, flour, and salt, mixing until well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the partially baked brownie layer in the springform pan. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the cream cheese layer, then top with the remaining brownie batter, spreading it gently.
Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Slice and serve chilled, drizzling extra caramel sauce on top if desired.
Notes
For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to the cream cheese mixture.
You can also substitute the caramel sauce with chocolate sauce for a different twist.
