Instructions

Prepare the Brownie Base:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions. Pour the brownie batter into a greased 9-inch springform pan and bake as directed. Once baked, allow the brownie base to cool completely in the pan. This will be the sturdy, fudgy foundation for your cheesecake.
Make the Cheesecake Layer:
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream, ensuring everything is fully combined.
Add the Caramel Swirl:
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled brownie base. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the cheesecake layer, then use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl it into the top for a beautiful marbled effect.
Bake the Cheesecake:
Place the springform pan in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center. Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and allow the cheesecake to cool gradually inside the oven for about 1 hour. This helps prevent cracks. Afterward, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Chill and Garnish:
Once the cheesecake is thoroughly chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and carefully release the springform pan. Before serving, garnish the cheesecake with extra caramel sauce, whipped cream, and chocolate shavings for an elegant finish.
