Preparation
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x9-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.
Mix the melted butter and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until well combined. Then, add the eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until everything is smooth.
Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gently mix until just combined.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 15-18 minutes.
Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then add the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
Spread the cheesecake filling over the cooled brownie layer evenly.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes.
Cool the brownie cheesecake at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Lift the brownie cheesecake out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into small squares.
Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature. Avoid overmixing the brownie batter to maintain a tender texture.
