  • Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla and sour cream.

3. Assemble & Swirl

  • Pour cheesecake batter over the cooled brownie base.

  • Drop spoonfuls of caramel sauce on top, then swirl with a knife.

4. Bake & Chill

  • Bake 40-45 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.

  • Cool 1 hour in the oven with the door cracked, then refrigerate 4+ hours (overnight best).

5. Serve & Drizzle!

  • Run a knife around the edges before releasing the springform.

  • Top with extra caramel, ganache, or whipped cream.
