  • Total Time: 5 to 6 hours (including chilling)
  • Yield: 10 to 12 servings

Ingredients

  • Brownie layer:
  • 1 box brownie mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Cheesecake layer:
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Topping:
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/4 cup chocolate fudge sauce
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine brownie mix, eggs, oil, and water until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 18–20 minutes, until just set. Let cool slightly.
  3. In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix until combined.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Pour cheesecake batter over the cooled brownie base and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until edges are set and the center slightly jiggles. Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cool gradually.
  7. Once fully cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  8. Before serving, drizzle with caramel and fudge sauces, then sprinkle chopped pecans on top.

Notes

  • Use walnuts instead of pecans for a different texture.
  • Add chocolate chips to the brownie layer for extra richness.
  • Swirl caramel into the cheesecake batter for deeper flavor.
  • Chill overnight for best texture and flavor.
  • Freeze slices individually if storing long-term.
