  • 1 Wire rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 4 large eggs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  • Remove from heat and stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined.

  • In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter in the pan.
  • Drizzle caramel sauce over the cream cheese layer and swirl with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly on top.

  • Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 1 hour.
  • Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before starting, as this helps in achieving a smooth and evenly mixed batter. When swirling the caramel sauce, be gentle to maintain distinct layers between the brownie and cheesecake. Additionally, using a water bath during baking can help prevent cracks in the cheesecake layer.
