Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease the bottom of a 8” springform pan. In a small bowl, mix together brownie mix, 1 egg, and cold water. Spread in the bottom of the greased pan and bake for 12­ 15 minutes. Remove from the oven. Melt the caramels with the evaporated milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently, until it has reached a smooth consistency. Pour 2⁄3 of the caramel mixture over the baked brownies, reserving 1⁄3 to pour over the top of the cheesecake at the end. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together until smooth. Add in the 1 egg one, beating well. Pour cream cheese over caramel mixture. Bake the cheesecake for 40 minutes, still at 350 degrees. Remove from oven and let it chill in the pan. Heat the reserved caramel and fudge topping, and pour over cheesecake before serving.
