Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon cold water
• 1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
• 1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
• 1 (9 ounce) package brownie mix
• 1 cup chocolate fudge topping

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together brownie mix, 1 egg and water. Spread into the greased pan. Bake for 25 minutes.

Step 3

Melt the caramels with the evaporated milk over low heat in a heavy saucepan. Stir often, and heat until mixture has a smooth consistency. Reserve 1/3 cup of this caramel mixture, and pour the remainder over the warm, baked brownie crust.

Step 4

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour cream cheese mixture over caramel mixture.

Step 5

Bake cheesecake for 40 minutes. Chill in pan. When cake is thoroughly chilled, loosen by running a knife around the edge, and then remove the rim of the pan. Heat reserved caramel mixture, and spoon over cheesecake. Drizzle with the chocolate topping.
