Instructions
Creating these Milky Way Caramel Cheesecake Brownies is a straightforward process that involves layering and baking. Follow these steps for delicious results:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. Make Brownie Batter: In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
3. Add Eggs: Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each is incorporated before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the sugar mixture until just combined.
5. Pour Brownie Layer: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread evenly and set aside.
6. Prepare Cheesecake Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar, mixing until creamy.
7. Add Eggs and Flavor: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by caramel sauce and vanilla extract until smooth.
8. Incorporate Milky Way Bars: Fold in the chopped Milky Way bars gently to distribute them throughout the cheesecake mixture.
9. Layer the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer in the baking pan. Spread evenly to cover the brownie mixture completely.
10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set, and the center is just slightly jiggly.
11. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
12. Drizzle and Serve: Once cooled, drizzle additional caramel sauce and chocolate over the top.
