Ingredients

Brownie Layer:

  • ~2 cups crumbled fudgy brownies (store-bought or homemade)

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 1½ cups cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (whipped to stiff peaks)

Toppings:

  • Chocolate ganache (melted chocolate + cream)
  • Caramel sauce
  • Extra brownie crumbs

How to Make Loaded Brownie Cheesecake Cups

Step 1 – Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a bowl, beat softened cream cheesepowdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Set aside.

Step 2 – Build Your Dessert Cups

In small glasses, jars, or dessert cups, layer as follows:

  1. A generous spoonful of crumbled brownies
  2. A thick layer of cheesecake filling
  3. A drizzle of chocolate ganache
  4. A swirl of caramel sauce
  5. Repeat until full

Step 3 – Finish and Chill

Top with extra brownie crumbs, another drizzle of ganache and caramel, and chill for 30–60 minutes before serving. (Or dive in immediately—we won’t judge.)


Tips for Sweet Success

  • Use dense, fudgy brownies—cakey ones will crumble too much
  • Whip cream to stiff peaks for structure in the cheesecake
  • Don’t over-mix the whipped cream into the filling or it’ll deflate
  • Want to save time? Use edible cookie dough or no-bake Oreo pie as a base

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve in glass cups for that layered look
  • Add fresh berries or crushed nuts for crunch
  • Want a party platter? Try mini versions in shot glasses
  • Pair with Peanut Butter Brownies for a brownie-themed dessert board

Storage & Leftovers

  • Fridge: Store covered for up to 3 days
  • Freezer: Not recommended—the whipped cheesecake loses its texture when thawed
  • Make-Ahead Tip: Prep all components separately and assemble just before serving
