🍰 Introduction

If you’ve ever craved the gooey comfort of a brownie and the creamy indulgence of cheesecake at the same time — this dessert was made for you. These Loaded Brownie Cheesecake Cups are no-bake, no-stress, and guaranteed to impress.

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Cooking Guide

Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. The mixture should be creamy and lump-free.
Then fold in whipped cream until light and airy — this creates that luscious, mousse-like texture.

Tip: Chill your mixing bowl before whipping cream for best volume.

Step 2: Layer the Brownies and Cheesecake

Crumble your brownies into bite-sized pieces and press a layer into the bottom of your serving cups.
Add a layer of cheesecake filling, smoothing it out or piping for a clean finish.
Drizzle chocolate ganache and caramel over each layer for richness.

Step 3: Finish & Chill

Repeat the layers until full, finishing with cheesecake on top. Garnish with more brownie crumbs, caramel, and ganache drizzle.
Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving — this step allows the layers to set beautifully.

🍫 Ingredient Details & Substitutions

• Brownies: Homemade or store-bought — just make sure they’re fudgy. Avoid dry or cakey brownies.

• Cream Cheese: Full-fat cream cheese gives the richest texture.

• Whipped Cream: Whip until stiff peaks form. You can substitute stabilized whipped topping in a pinch.

• Chocolate Ganache: Equal parts melted chocolate and warm heavy cream — whisk until smooth and glossy.

• Caramel Sauce: Store-bought works fine, but homemade salted caramel adds an amazing contrast.

Equipment Alternatives:

• No piping bag? Use a ziplock with the corner cut off.

• Mason jars or dessert glasses both make great presentation options.

• Add a layer of crushed Oreos for crunch.
