Preparation
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat 1½ cups of softened cream cheese until smooth, then mix in ½ cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until combined. Whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks and fold it into the cream cheese mixture gently to maintain airiness.
- Prepare the Brownie Layer: Crumble 2 cups of fudgy brownies into bite-sized pieces and set aside for layering.
- Assemble the Cups: Layer crumbled brownies at the bottom of each cup, filling it a third of the way, then spoon the cheesecake mousse over the brownies, smoothing it with a spatula.
- Drizzle with Ganache and Caramel: Drizzle melted chocolate ganache and caramel sauce over the cheesecake layer in each cup.
- Repeat Layers: Add another layer of brownie crumbles followed by cheesecake mousse, ensuring layers are visually distinct, and top with another drizzle.
- Top It Off: Sprinkle extra brownie crumbs on top and add garnishes like whipped cream or chocolate shavings if desired.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled cups for 1 to 4 hours before serving for best results.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for best results. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 weeks, thawing in the fridge before serving.
