Caramel Cheesecake Brownies
These Caramel Cheesecake Brownies are the most decadent dessert. Homemade caramel sauce and cream cheese are swirled into a simple boxed brownie mix. It is a dessert that my friends go nuts for!
Servings 9
Ingredients
- 1 boxes of Brownie Mix and the ingredients called for on the box
- ¼ cup Butter
- 6 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- ¼ cup Heavy Cream
- 2 tablespoons Bourbon
- ¼ teaspoon Sea Salt
- ½ cup Whipped Cream Cheese at room temperature
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Next, prepare the caramel sauce. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the brown sugar, and once it melts, add the cream and salt. Next, add the bourbon and bring the caramel to a steady bubble. Let the sauce bubble and thicken for about 5 minutes, until it is thick and syrupy and will stay on the back of a spoon.
- While the caramel simmers, prepare the brownie mix according to the directions on the box. Pour the batter into a pan lined with parchment.
- Drizzle the caramel over the brownies. Then add big spoonfuls of the cream cheese, and use a knife to swirl the caramel and cream cheese through the brownies.
- Bake according to the directions on the brownie mix box (and maybe for 5 minutes longer). The caramel will make these brownies gooey, and they won't set up as much as regular brownies, but when they are done cooking, a toothpick should come out mostly clean (it will probably just have some caramel on it).
