# Instructions:
01 -
Fire up your oven to 175°C. Grab a 23-25 cm tart pan with a removable bottom and coat it with cooking spray. Cover the base with a circle of parchment paper and put the pan on a baking sheet.
02 -
Get a microwave-safe bowl and toss in the coffee (or water), chocolate, sugar, and butter. Microwave it on full power for a minute, give it a good stir, then heat it for another minute and mix. Keep going with 30-second intervals until the chocolate and butter melt and the mixture is smooth. Cool it down for 5 minutes. Stir the cocoa powder in. Whisk in the eggs, vanilla, and salt, then gently add the flour and combine everything.
03 -
Beat the cream cheese until it looks light and creamy (about half a minute). Add the caramel sauce and mix well. Throw in the egg and vanilla, then stir until it's all smooth.
04 -
Pour the brownie batter into your prepared pan, saving about 60 ml for later. Spread the caramel-cream cheese mixture over the top, making sure it’s evenly covered. Dollop the reserved brownie batter over the top and use a toothpick or sharp knife to swirl the layers together. Bake it in the preheated oven for 22-28 minutes, until it’s puffed up a bit and set (not wobbly).
05 -
Let it cool completely on the counter before removing the tart from the pan. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprig of mint. For extra indulgence, drizzle some caramel sauce on top.
