Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Bake the brownies according to package directions or your favorite recipe, and let them cool completely. Once cooled, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully blended. Gently fold in the whipped cream to create a light and airy cheesecake filling.
Assembly
- In a clear glass bowl or trifle dish, add a layer of brownie pieces to the bottom.
- Follow with a generous layer of the cheesecake mixture.
- Drizzle caramel sauce generously over the cheesecake layer.
- Repeat this layering process until the dish is full, typically 3-4 layers.
Garnishing
- Top the final layer with whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel, and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings if desired.
- Chill for about 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Notes
This dessert is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cover the dish with plastic wrap to keep it fresh. Reheating isn’t necessary, but gently microwave each portion for about 10 seconds if you want the dessert slightly warm.
