How to Make Brownie Caramel Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) brownie mix, 1 large egg, and water as directed on the brownie mix box.
  4. Spread brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes, or until edges are set.
  6. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine 14 oz (about 2 cups) caramels and 1/2 cup evaporated milk.
  7. Stir frequently until caramels are completely melted and smooth.
  8. Reserve 1/3 cup of the caramel mixture. Pour the remaining caramel over the warm brownie crust.
  9. In a large bowl, beat 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened, with 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  10. Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  11. Pour the cream cheese mixture gently over the caramel layer.
  12. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but the center is slightly jiggly.
  13. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  14. Let cool completely in the pan, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  15. Carefully run a thin knife around the edge of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan.
  16. Remove the sides of the springform pan.
  17. Heat the reserved caramel mixture gently, then drizzle over the chilled cheesecake.
  18. Optional: Garnish with chocolate shavings or whipped cream.
