Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

For the Caramel Cheesecake Layer:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

For Assembly:

  • 2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce, for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup chocolate shavings or chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting into small bite-sized pieces.
  2. Make the Caramel Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add caramel sauce, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the caramel cheesecake mixture to maintain a light and airy texture.
  3. Assemble the Trifle: In a trifle dish or individual serving glasses, start with a layer of brownie pieces. Add a generous layer of caramel cheesecake filling. Drizzle with caramel sauce. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top. Garnish with chocolate shavings, chopped pecans, and an extra drizzle of caramel sauce for an elegant finish.
  4. Chill & Serve: Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together and for the dessert to set properly. Serve chilled and enjoy this rich and indulgent treat that’s perfect for celebrations or whenever you’re craving a sweet delight.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream for a rich texture.
  • Brownies should be fully cooled before assembling to prevent melting the cheesecake layer.
  • You can substitute chopped walnuts or almonds for pecans if preferred.
  • If caramel sauce is too thick, warm gently before drizzling for easier pouring.
  • This dessert can be made a day ahead to enhance flavors and save time on serving day.
  • Leftovers should be stored covered in the refrigerator and consumed within 3 days.
