Caramel Brownie Cheesecake
It’s rather tempting …
Caramel Brownie Cheesecake!
I’m completely undone. This Caramel Brownie Cheesecake is truly gorgeous tasting.
Put Caramel, Brownie and Cheesecake all in one recipe and I’m there. It’s so fudgy and silky creamy and oh so gooey with caramel all at one time. Umm, yum!
If you honestly need something sweet and rich tasting, look no further. The layers give this Cheesecake a gorgeous look when you cut into it and if you want to top it off with whipped cream and toasted nuts, by all means, be my guest!
I like to drizzle even more caramel over the top, because I can. It is definitely rich, so there should be plenty to share … or not.
