🍫🥮 Milky Way Caramel Cheesecake Brownies
Ingredients
For the Brownie Base:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
For the Cheesecake Layer:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Mix-ins & Topping:
- 1 cup chopped Milky Way bars (about 3 full-size bars)
- 1/3 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Optional: pinch of sea salt for topping
🔪 Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper or grease it well. - Make Brownie Batter:
In a bowl, mix melted butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until combined. Spread ¾ of the batter into the prepared pan. - Add Milky Way Chunks:
Scatter half of the chopped Milky Way bars over the brownie batter layer. - Make Cheesecake Layer:
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, egg, and vanilla; mix until creamy. Pour cheesecake mixture over brownie base. - Add Caramel & Remaining Brownie Batter:
Drizzle caramel sauce over the cheesecake layer. Drop spoonfuls of remaining brownie batter on top and swirl gently with a knife or toothpick. Sprinkle on the rest of the Milky Way chunks. - Bake:
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean (a little gooey is okay—it’ll firm up as it cools). - Cool & Chill:
Let cool completely, then chill for at least 1 hour before cutting for clean slices.
📝 Tips:
- Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps.
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a salted caramel twist.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days (or freeze for longer).
