Prepare the cheesecake filling by beating cream cheese until smooth, mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form and fold into cream cheese mixture.

Crumble fudgy brownies into bite-sized pieces, ensuring enough crumbs to form a sturdy base layer.

Assemble the cups by layering crumbled brownies at the bottom of each serving cup, pressing them down lightly. Spoon a layer of cheesecake filling over the brownies.

Drizzle melted chocolate ganache and caramel sauce over the cheesecake layer.

Repeat the layers until cups are filled, leaving a little room at the top for garnish.

Top with extra brownie crumbs, whipped cream, and additional ganache or caramel if desired.

Chill the assembled cups in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours before serving.
