Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir in 2 cups of sugar until well combined, then let it cool slightly.
  3. Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth, then fold in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  4. Pour half of the brownie batter into an 8-inch springform pan and bake for 15-20 minutes until set but fudgy in the center.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract and sour cream until creamy.
  6. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer. Spread evenly, then pour the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake and gently swirl together.
  7. Bake for an additional 45-50 minutes until the edges are firm and the center jiggles slightly. Allow to cool.
  8. Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle sea salt before slicing and serving.

Notes

Let the cheesecake cool before slicing for best results. Can be made a day in advance; add caramel just before serving.
