Make caramel sauce, while brownie is baking
In a small pot, heat sugar and water on medium-high heat, whisking a little to mix then swirl pot until sugar is dissolved.
Once dissolved, keep swirling the pan often keeping an eye on the color until it turns a slightly dark amber color.
Do not whisk! Only swirl the pot using the handle.
You do not want to disturb the process too much.
Once it's the color you desire, slowly pour in cream.
The mixture will bubble up violently for a few seconds, when it settles down, whisk until smooth.
Remove from heat and whisk in butter, vanilla and salt.
Set caramel a side to allow it to cool completely and thicken up some.
Once brownie is done, remove outer ring of pan and allow brownie to cool completely.
Make cheesecake, while brownie is cooling
Combine cream cheese and both sugars until smooth.
Stir in 3/4 cup of caramel sauce and spices until mixed. Fold in cool whip and combined everything.
Place the outer ring to the spring form pan back on.
Top the brownie with cheesecake mixture and spread evenly.
Chill, 4 hours.
