👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Brownie Base:
Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C). Grease the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and line it with parchment paper.
Melt the butter and chocolate in a double boiler.
Add the sugars and stir, then add the eggs and vanilla.
Add the flour, cocoa, and salt, and mix with a spatula.
Pour ¾ of the prepared batter into the pan, setting aside the rest for the top.
2. Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:
Beat the cream cheese with a mixer until smooth.
Add the sugar, vanilla, eggs, and sour cream, and mix.
Pour over the brownie base and smooth it out.
3. Make the Caramel:
Melt the sugar over medium heat without stirring, then add the butter once it turns golden brown.
Once the butter has melted, carefully add the cream (it may bubble!).
Stir until smooth, then let it cool slightly.
4. Add the Caramel and Brownie Layers:
Drizzle the caramel in thin strips over the cheesecake mixture.
Dot the remaining brownie batter over it with a spoon.
Gently swirl with a knife to create waves.
5. Baking:
Place the pan in a large baking sheet, add a little hot water to the sheet (bain-marie method).
Bake at 340°F (170°C) for about 50–60 minutes. The center should be slightly jiggly.
Once cooled to room temperature, chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight).
