Description
Indulge in these delightful Loaded Brownie Cheesecake Cups, featuring rich layers of fudgy brownies and creamy cheesecake mousse, topped with chocolate ganache and caramel.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fudgy brownies, crumbled
- 1½ cups cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
- Chocolate ganache (melted chocolate + heavy cream)
- Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Extra brownie crumbs
Instructions
- Start with softened cream cheese for a luscious, smooth texture. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until silky-smooth and lump-free.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
- Choose moist, chewy brownies and crumble them into bite-sized chunks.
- Grab your dessert cups. For Layer 1, add a spoonful of crumbled brownies and lightly press them down.
- For Layer 2, use a piping bag or a spoon to layer the cheesecake mousse atop the brownies.
- Drizzle chocolate ganache and caramel sauce over the mousse.
- Repeat the brownie and cheesecake layers, finishing with another drizzle of both sauces.
- Sprinkle extra brownie crumbs for texture and finish with another drizzle of ganache and caramel.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream or mini brownie square for decoration.
- Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
