In a mixing bowl beat together cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream until creamy and smooth. Add eggs and beat well. Pour evenly over brownie layer. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until cheesecake is set. Do not over bake! Let cool at room temperature before topping. | |
Topping | |
Step 3 | |
Drizzle caramel over brownie cheesecake (you may need to microwave for 20 seconds first so it's thin enough to drizzle). Immediately sprinkle on chocolate chips, pecans, and sea salt. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before cutting and serving. |

can you please put the ingredient measurements in grams/kg/millilitres or litres instead of ounces and cups I find it easier with grams etc.
