Caramel Swirl Cheesecake Brownies

Updated: Oct 6, 2023 by Mindee · This post may contain affiliate links · 1 Comment

These caramel swirl cheesecake brownies are an easy dessert to whip up and a great one to share at a neighborhood barbecue this summer!

Squares of caramel swirl cheesecake brownies.

Caramel swirl cheesecake brownies are one of the best dessert mash-ups!  The smooth cheesecake with caramel on top of a chocolatey brownie is irresistible.  

They also look like you've spent a lot of time making them when they are, in fact, really quite simple. And it's a plus that they can be made a day ahead of time.

How to make these cheesecake brownies:

  • After preparing a 9 x 13 pan, mix the brownie base together and press into the pan. I obviously used my fingers to do this.
  • Make the cheesecake filling and spread it over the brownie base.
  • Make the caramel sauce and pour in lines back and forth across the top of the cheesecake filling. It doesn't need to be perfect. Then pull a butter knife back and forth through the caramel and fill in figure 8 motions to swirl the caramel.
  • Bake in your preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes. The center should be set, and the edges lightly browned.
  • Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes before putting it in the fridge to chill for at least 4 hours before serving. I like to leave them in the fridge overnight. Cut your cheesecake brownies into 30 squares. That may seem small, but these are pretty rich. Refrigerate the leftovers, if there are any.
Steps for this recipe.

How to store cheesecake brownies:

Due to the cheesecake top on these brownies, they do need to be stored in the fridge.

Cheesecake is such a descant dessert that is also really versatile. My Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Cheesecake and my Almond Praline Cheesecake are both cheesecakes made in a spring form pan. If you're looking for cheesecakes in bar form like this recipe, then try some Chocolate Crumble Cheesecake Bars. And everything is more fun when it's bite-sized!
