Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 480 g fudgy brownies, crumbled
Cheesecake Filling
- 340 g cream cheese, softened
- 60 g powdered sugar
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 240 ml heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
Toppings and Garnishes
- Chocolate ganache (made from melted chocolate and heavy cream)
- Caramel sauce
- Extra brownie crumbs for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture using a mixer until it becomes smooth, creamy, and free of lumps.
- Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring the filling becomes light and homogeneous without deflating the whipped cream peaks.
- Assemble Layers: Begin by distributing a layer of crumbled brownies at the base of each serving cup. Spoon or pipe a generous layer of the cheesecake filling over the brownie layer.
- Add Ganache and Caramel: Drizzle a moderate amount of chocolate ganache and caramel sauce over the cheesecake layer to add richness and flavor contrast.
- Repeat Layers: Continue layering with brownies, cheesecake filling, ganache, and caramel until the cup is filled to the top.
- Garnish: Finish the cups by garnishing with additional brownie crumbs, a drizzle of chocolate ganache, and caramel sauce for a visually appealing presentation.
- Chill Before Serving: Place the assembled brownie cheesecake cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 60 minutes to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld beautifully.
Notes
- Use fudgy brownies for the best texture contrast with the creamy cheesecake filling.
- Be gentle when folding in the whipped cream to keep the filling light and airy.
- Chocolate ganache can be made by melting equal parts chocolate and heavy cream together smoothly.
- Allowing the dessert to chill ensures a firm set and easier serving.
- These cups can be prepared a day ahead for convenience and enhanced flavor.
