Marble Brownie Swirl Cheesecake

A favorite in our household has always been homemade caramel brownies, so we couldn’t think of a better way to elevate our Marble Brownie Swirl than with a rich caramel sauce!

Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter , cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- pinch of salt

Directions
1). Add sugar and water to a heavy bottomed saucepan; stir so it sits in a flat, even layer.
2). Warm pot over medium heat and cook until the sugar dissolves, turns clear, and starts to bubble. (It will be cloudy at first, but will turn into a clear, bubbling liquid.) This takes about 3-4 minutes. (At this point, do not stir again - simply allow to bubble, swirl the saucepan occasionally and brush down the sides of the pan, as needed, to prevent crystallization.)
3). Sugar will form clumps, but continue swirling and cooking until the mixture thickens and turns a deep amber color like honey (this can take anywhere from 8-12 minutes), keeping a watchful eye so the mixture doesn’t burn.
4). Carefully add the butter and whisk until completely melted. (The caramel will bubble up rapidly, so be careful and continue to whisk.)
5). Remove the saucepan from the heat and slowly pour in the cream, whisking continuously until all of the cream has been incorporated.
6). Whisk in the vanilla and salt.
7). Set aside to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
8). Drizzle over the top of your Marble Brownie Swirl Cheesecake, or add a spoonful to your plate, and enjoy one of our family’s favorite desserts!
