Caramel Cheesecake Brownie Trifle Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Brownies:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Cheesecake Layer:
16 oz (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream
For the Caramel Sauce:
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For Assembly:
Whipped cream for topping
Chocolate shavings or pieces (optional)
Instructions:
Brownies:
Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
Beat in the flour, cocoa, and salt. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely, then cut them into small squares.
Cheesecake Layer:
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
Caramel Sauce:
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium-high heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and allow the mixture to boil.
Cook until the mixture turns a deep amber color. Carefully add the heavy cream (the mixture will bubble up vigorously), and whisk until smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the butter, vanilla, and salt. Allow to cool slightly before using.
Assembly:
In a large trifle dish or individual serving glasses, layer the brownies, cheesecake mixture, and caramel sauce.
Repeat the layers until the dish is filled, ending with a layer of cheesecake mixture.
Top with whipped cream, drizzle with additional caramel sauce, and garnish with chocolate shavings or pieces if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Key Takeaway:
This Caramel Cheesecake Brownie Trifle is a decadent dessert that combines rich brownies, creamy cheesecake, and luscious caramel sauce, layered to perfection for a truly indulgent treat.
