Cook techniques
Layering
Proper layering of the brownie, cheesecake, and caramel ensures that each bite contains a perfect balance of flavors and textures.
Baking
Ensure that you preheat the oven to the correct temperature to achieve a well-baked cheesecake and brownie base.
Cooling
Allow the cheesecake to cool slowly after baking. This helps prevent cracks on the surface and maintains a smooth texture.
Drizzling
For an elegant touch, drizzle the caramel sauce over the cooled cheesecake just before serving to enhance presentation and flavor.
Serving
Use a sharp knife to cut into the cheesecake for clean slices. Wiping the knife between cuts can help maintain clean edges.
