Holiday Inn Brownie Caramel Cheesecake 1 package (9 ounce) brownie mix 1 egg 1 tablespoon cold water 1 package (14 ounce) individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped 1 can (5 ounce) evaporated milk 2 packages (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup white sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 eggs 1 cup chocolate fudge topping
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. In a small bowl, mix together brownie mix, 1 egg and water. Spread into the greased pan. Bake for 25 minutes. Melt the caramels with the evaporated milk over low heat in a heavy saucepan. Stir often and heat until mixture has a smooth consistency. Reserve 1/3 cup of this caramel mixture, and pour the remainder over the warm, baked brownie crust. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour cream cheese mixture over caramel mixture. Bake cheesecake for 40 minutes. Chill in pan. When cake is thoroughly chilled, loosen by running a knife around the edge, and then remove the rim of the pan. Heat reserved caramel mixture, and spoon over cheesecake. Drizzle with the chocolate topping.
