Ingredients
Brownie Layer:
- 2 cups fudgy brownies crumbled (store-bought or homemade)
Cheesecake Filling:
- 1½ cups full-fat cream cheese softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream whipped to stiff peaks
Toppings:
- ½ cup chocolate ganache see note below
- ¼ cup caramel sauce
- ½ cup extra brownie crumbs for garnish
Instructions
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- In another bowl, whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Do not overmix—just fold until smooth and fluffy.
Layer the Dessert Cups:
- Start with a base of crumbled brownies in each cup (about 2–3 tbsp).
- Add a layer of cheesecake filling using a spoon or piping bag.
- Drizzle with ganache and caramel sauce.
- Repeat the layers if your cups are tall enough—brownie, cheesecake, drizzle.
- Top with extra brownie crumbs and more sauce.
Chill & Serve:
- Cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the layers to set and flavors to meld.
