Caramel Cheesecake Swirled Brownies
Chocolatey and Chewy these Brownies are swirled with a cheesecake filling and caramel sauce. Over the top in every way this Caramel Cheesecake Swirled Brownies Recipe is perfect for your next party!
- Total Time: 50 minutes
- Yield: 9-16 Brownies 1x
Ingredients
- 4oz (½ Cup/ 1 stick) Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 63 grams (½ Cup) Natural Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (My fave is SCHARFFEN BERGER)
- 8oz Cream Cheese, softened to room temp.
- 1 Large Egg, at room temp.
- 1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 67 grams (⅓ Cup) Granulated Sugar
- 12 caramels
- 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 250 grams (1 ¼ Cup) Granulated Sugar
- 2 Large eggs, at room temp.
- 2 Teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Salt
- 94 grams (¾ Cup) All-Purpose Flour/ Plain Flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C and line an 8X8 baking pan with foil and spray generously with cooking spray.
- In a double boiler or a large bowl that can sit on top of a saucepan melt 1 stick of butter and the chocolate chips. (You want the bowl to sit on top of the saucepan- the saucepan should have a little bit of water on low-medium heat. You do not want to bowl to touch the water) Cook until just melted. Using a dishtowel take the bowl off of the saucepan and whisk in the cocoa powder. Set aside for a few minutes to cool.
- While cooling, in the bowl of an electric mixer whip the cream cheese for 2 minutes. Add in egg, vanilla, and sugar. Mix until fully combined 2 minutes. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low cook caramels and heavy cream until smooth. Set aside.
- In the chocolate mixture whisk in 1 ¼ cup sugar. Add eggs one at a time then vanilla and salt. Fold flour in, do not over mix. Pour ⅔ into a prepared pan. Scoop cheesecake mixture on top, and then scoop caramel on top. Drop spoonfuls of remaining brownie batter on top and use a knife to swirl it all together.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with no wet batter. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing in.

I made caramel brownies earlier in the week using the same brownie base + caramels. Good thinking to add cream cheese! Bet they were so good!

Thanks for sharing with us at "In and Out of the Kitchen Link Up Party"

I have a question when you add sugar you list 1- 1/4 cup, which do you mix this in(step 3 or 5)? you also have 1/3 cup listed.
Elizabeth says
Hi Cindy,
I am sorry that was a bit confusing the way I had it worded. I have changed it. The 1 1/4 cup of sugar gets mixed into the brownie batter and the 1/3 goes into the cheesecake batter 🙂
Thanks for letting me know! 🙂
Elizabeth
Cindy says
