Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • a single serve McCafĂ© pod, brewed & cooled to room temp
  • 1 box Kraft Jell-O No Bake Cheesecake Dessert
  • 1¼ cup cold milk
  • about 10 Kraft Caramel Bits
  • 1 box brownie mix (I prefer a double chocolate or chocolate chunk version) & ingredients required for box
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven according to packaged brownie mix.
  2. Prepare brownie mix according to package, substituting brewed coffee for water.
  3. Pour enough brownie mix into your greased springform pan to use as a base. (You may want a thin crust or maybe you want half brownie, so it depends on your taste.)
  4. In my small springform pan, I baked for 15 minutes, which is about half of what was called for on the box. Follow the brownie box instructions and account for what size pan and how thick you are making your cheesecake base.
  5. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  6. From the No bake Cheesecake box, you only need the cheesecake mix, not the crust mix.
  7. Use ½ cup of the cheesecake mix and blend that with ½ cup cold milk and ¼ cup brewed coffee. It will be thick.
  8. Pour on top of brownie layer and spread evenly.
  9. Use ½ cup of the cheesecake mix and blend that with ¾ cup cold milk. It will be thick.
  10. Pour on top of coffee cheesecake layer and spread evenly.
  11. Refrigerate at least an hour to allow cheesecake to set.
  12. When ready to serve, melt caramel bits with a tablespoon of water in microwave for about 1 minute. Stir to combine evenly and pour over cheesecake.
Notes
I used a small springform pan, about 8 inches and this would make about 3 of them depending on how thick you make your layers.
