Loaded Brownie Cheesecake Cups
An irresistible dessert combining fudgy brownie, creamy cheesecake, and decadent chocolate-caramel drizzles, perfect for impressing your guests!
Ingredients:
For the Brownie Layer:
2 cups fudgy brownie pieces (you can use store-bought or homemade brownies)
For the Cheesecake Filling:
8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
1 cup heavy whipping cream (36% fat)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Toppings:
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
A pinch of sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Brownie Layer:
If using store-bought brownies, cut them into small cubes. If making from scratch, bake your brownies and allow them to cool before cutting into 2-inch pieces.
Place a few pieces of brownie into the bottom of each individual serving cup or a muffin tin lined with cupcake liners.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
Assemble the Dessert:
Spoon a generous layer of the cheesecake filling over the brownie pieces in each cup. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Add another layer of brownie pieces on top of the cheesecake filling for extra fudgy goodness.
Add Toppings:
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each cheesecake cup.
Drizzle caramel sauce over the chocolate, and if desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for that sweet-salty finish.
Chill and Serve:
Place the dessert cups in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours, or until the cheesecake is firm and the flavors meld together.
Once chilled, serve these delicious Loaded Brownie Cheesecake Cups and enjoy!
