Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a springform pan with butter or cooking spray.

  3. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, gradually add sugar, and then mix in the eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the cheesecake mixture onto the cooled brownie layer in the springform pan.
  5. Drizzle caramel sauce over the cheesecake and swirl it with a knife or skewer.
  6. Bake in the oven for an additional 50-60 minutes until the center is set but slightly jiggles.
  7. Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  8. Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings.

Notes

Prevent cracking by ensuring cream cheese is at room temperature and avoid over-mixing. This cheesecake can be made a day in advance for optimal flavor.
