Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over low heat, then stir in 2 cups of granulated sugar until well combined. Add 4 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of cocoa powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Fold this into the wet ingredients until there are no dry streaks.
  3. Pour your brownie batter into a greased 9-inch springform pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, allowing the edges to set while keeping the center soft.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat together 16 oz of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 3 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ½ cup of sour cream until silky and smooth.
  5. Once the brownie base has cooled, pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie. Bake for another 30-35 minutes until slightly jiggly in the center.
  6. To prepare caramel, heat 1 cup of granulated sugar in a saucepan until melted, then stir in 6 tablespoons of butter and ½ cup of heavy cream. Add 1 teaspoon of sea salt.
  7. Drizzle the warm caramel over the cooled cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
