Description

These Loaded Brownie Cheesecake Cups are an indulgent layered dessert featuring fudgy brownie crumbs, creamy cheesecake filling, and decadent drizzles of chocolate ganache and caramel sauce. Perfect for individual servings, these no-bake cups are quick to assemble and make a delightful treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 2 cups fudgy brownies, crumbled
  • ½ cup extra brownie crumbs (for garnish)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1½ cups cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Toppings

  • ½ cup chocolate ganache
  • ¼ cup caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps for a silky texture.
  2. Whip Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form, indicating it’s fully aerated.
  3. Combine Filling Components: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Fold carefully to maintain the airy texture without deflating the whipped cream.
  4. Layer Brownie Base: Evenly distribute a layer of crumbled brownies at the bottom of each serving cup, using about 2 to 3 tablespoons per cup, to form a solid base layer.
  5. Add Cheesecake Layer: Pipe or spoon a generous layer of the cheesecake filling on top of the brownie base in each cup, smoothing it gently without mixing into the crumbs.
  6. Drizzle with Ganache & Caramel: Lightly drizzle chocolate ganache and caramel sauce over the cheesecake filling to add richness and a decorative touch.
  7. Repeat Layers: Continue layering brownie crumbs, cheesecake filling, and drizzles of ganache and caramel until each cup is filled, ending with a top layer of cheesecake filling.
  8. Final Garnish: Top each cup with extra brownie crumbs and additional ganache or caramel drizzle for a visually appealing finish.
  9. Chill: Cover the assembled cups with plastic wrap or lids and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld perfectly before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and smoother filling consistency.
  • Whip the cream just until stiff peaks form to avoid over-beating which can cause it to become grainy.
  • For a quicker option, use store-bought brownies and ganache.
  • These cups can be prepared a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • Serve chilled for the best texture and taste.
