For the brownie base & topping
\n2 cups fudgy brownies
\n2 tablespoons reserved brownie crumbs for garnish
\nFor the cheesecake filling
\n1\u00bd cups full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
\n\u00bd cup powdered sugar, sifted
\n1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
\n1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
\nFor the drizzles & assembly
\n\u00bc cup chocolate ganache
\n\u00bc cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
\nOptional: sea salt flakes, crushed pretzels, or mini chocolate chips for texture
\nInstructions
\n1. Prepare the cheesecake filling
\nIn a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until completely smooth and free of lumps (about 1 minute). Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; continue beating for another minute until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.<\/p>\n
2. Whip and fold the cream
\nIn a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form (about 2\u20133 minutes). Using a silicone spatula, gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to lighten it. Then fold in the remaining whipped cream using slow, sweeping motions until no white streaks remain. Do not overmix.<\/p>\n
3. Layer the cups
\nSelect 6 dessert cups or small glasses (8\u201310 fluid ounce capacity). Divide half of the crumbled brownies equally among the cups as the bottom layer. Top each with a generous spoonful (about \u00bc cup) of the cheesecake filling.<\/p>\n
4. Add the first drizzle
\nDrizzle about \u00bd teaspoon of chocolate ganache and \u00bd teaspoon of caramel sauce over the cheesecake layer in each cup.<\/p>\n
5. Repeat the layers
\nAdd the remaining brownie crumbles as a second layer, followed by the remaining cheesecake filling. Finish with another small drizzle of both ganache and caramel.<\/p>\n
6. Garnish and chill
\nSprinkle the reserved brownie crumbs on top. If desired, add a pinch of sea salt or crushed pretzels. Refrigerate uncovered for 1 hour, then cover with plastic wrap or lids. Chill for at least 1 more hour (or up to overnight) before serving. See less<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
