# What You'll Need:
→ Brownie Base
01 -
Broken-up fudgy brownies (roughly 2 cups worth)
→ Cheesecake Mixture
02 -
1 1/2 cups softened cream cheese
03 -
1/2 cup sugar powder
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
05 -
1 cup whipped heavy cream, beaten until firm
→ Garnishes
06 -
Melted chocolate mixture (chocolate combined with warm heavy cream)
07 -
Liquid caramel
08 -
Spare brownie bits
09 -
If wanted: Smashed nuts, chocolate flakes, fancy salt, or coffee powder sprinkle
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Grab a big bowl and beat your soft cream cheese with the sugar powder and vanilla until it's smooth with no bumps. In another bowl, beat your heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Then slowly mix the whipped cream into your cheese blend using a gentle folding motion to keep it fluffy.
02 -
Drop a big spoonful of brownie chunks into each cup's bottom. Then add your cheesecake mix on top using either a fancy piping bag or just a spoon, making it nice and flat. Pour some chocolate sauce and caramel on that layer. Keep stacking in this pattern until your cups are filled up.
03 -
Scatter some extra brownie pieces on top for a nice crunch. Add more chocolate and caramel drizzles. Throw on any extras you want like broken pecans, fancy salt, or curly chocolate bits for some wow factor.
04 -
Wrap your cups with some plastic and stick them in the fridge for at least an hour but up to four hours. This helps everything settle down and mix flavors. They'll stay good for a full day in the fridge if you want to make them ahead.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Make sure your cream cheese isn't cold or you'll get lumps in your mixture.
02 -
A piping bag really helps make your layers look neat in the cups.
03 -
Try adding crushed candy canes or fresh fruit to match different events or seasons.
