Milky Way Caramel Cheesecake Brownies
Indulgent brownies layered with creamy cheesecake and drizzled with caramel, featuring chopped Milky Way bars for a rich, chocolatey experience.
Ingredients
Brownie Base
- 1 box Brownie mix (plus ingredients needed per package instructions) This forms the fudgy base, rich and chocolaty.
Cheesecake Layer
- 16 oz Cream cheese (softened) Provides a luscious, creamy layer.
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar To enhance the sweetness of the cheesecake layer.
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract For a delightful aromatic touch.
- 1 large Egg Essential for binding the cheesecake ingredients.
Toppings
- 1 cup Caramel sauce Adds a gooey sweetness that complements the chocolate.
- 6 bars Milky Way bars (chopped) For creamy nougat and caramel goodness.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth. Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the brownie batter.
- Drizzle half the caramel sauce over the cheesecake layer and sprinkle the chopped Milky Way bars on top.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the layers and drizzle the rest of the caramel sauce on top.
Baking
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until the brownies are set but still gooey in the center.
- Once baked, let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.
Notes
Tips for success: Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature, follow brownie mix instructions precisely, and don’t skip the parchment paper. Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting.
