No-Bake Brownie Cheesecake Cups (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Brownie Layer

01 - 200 g fudgy brownies, crumbled
02 - Extra brownie crumbs, for garnish

→ Cheesecake Filling

03 - 250 g full-fat cream cheese, softened
04 - 60 g powdered sugar
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 150 ml heavy whipping cream, cold

→ Toppings

07 - 80 ml chocolate ganache
08 - 50 ml caramel sauce

# Instructions:

01 - Combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Beat until smooth and creamy.
02 - In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
03 - Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and no streaks remain.
04 - Layer crumbled brownies into the base of each glass or jar. Top with a spoonful of cheesecake filling. Drizzle with chocolate ganache and caramel sauce.
05 - Repeat layering process until each cup is filled. Finish with extra brownie crumbs, additional ganache, and caramel on top.
06 - Cover the cups and refrigerate for at least one hour to set before serving.

# Notes:

01 - For the best texture, ensure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. Opt for high-quality chocolate when preparing the ganache to elevate the dessert's overall flavour.
02 - For gluten-free variation, use gluten-free brownies. Swap caramel sauce for fruit jam or hazelnut spread, if desired. Add chopped nuts or fresh berries atop for extra texture.
