03 - Keep stacking up more brownies, filling, and drizzles until your cups are totally packed.
04 - Drip a bit of chocolate ganache and then some caramel over that creamy layer.
05 - Spoon or pipe your cheesecake mix right on top of that brownie bottom in every cup.
06 - Toss a couple spoons of the brownie pieces into the bottom of your jars or cups.
07 - Take your whipped cream and gently stir it into the sweet cream cheese mix, using a spatula, till just mixed in.
08 - Whip the heavy cream in its own bowl until those peaks stay standing and don't fall over.
09 - Mix up the soft cream cheese, vanilla, and powdered sugar in a big bowl till you get a creamy blend.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Pick dark chocolate for your ganache if you want it extra rich.
02 - You can put these together the night before—just keep cold so they're tasty and fresh.
03 - Swap in berries or even some chopped nuts instead of caramel sauce for something different.
