Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Layer:

  • 2 cups fudgy brownies, crumbled (store-bought or homemade)

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 1½ cups cream cheese, softened (full-fat)

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks

Toppings:

  • ½ cup chocolate ganache (see note below)

  • ¼ cup caramel sauce

  • ½ cup extra brownie crumbs (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Whipped Cheesecake Filling

  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Do not overmix—just fold until fully incorporated.

2. Assemble the Cheesecake Cups

  • Add a layer of crumbled brownies at the bottom of each serving cup or jar (about 2–3 tablespoons).

  • Spoon or pipe in a layer of the cheesecake filling over the brownie base.

  • Drizzle a thin layer of chocolate ganache and caramel sauce over the filling.

  • Repeat layers (brownie, cheesecake, drizzle) until cups are full.

  • Top with extra brownie crumbs and additional drizzle for garnish.

3. Chill and Serve

  • Cover the cups with lids or plastic wrap.

  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set.

Notes

  • For Ganache: Melt ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips with ¼ cup heavy cream. Stir until smooth and glossy.

  • Make-Ahead Tip: These cups can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the fridge.

  • Customization Ideas: Add nuts, swap caramel for fruit compote, or use gluten-free brownies.

  • Whipped Cream Tip: Always whip cream cold and stop when stiff peaks form to avoid deflation.

  • No piping bag? Just use a spoon or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off for layering.
