Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • Brownie mix (boxed or homemade), quantity as per package or recipe instructions

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (50g) sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips, plus extra for topping
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans), caramel drizzle, fresh berries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Base: Mix your brownie batter according to the package or your homemade recipe instructions. Spoon a portion into each muffin cup, filling it about halfway to form the brownie base layer.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy to create the cheesecake layer.
  3. Layer the Cheesecake Filling: Carefully spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer in each muffin cup, leaving some space at the top to allow for rising during baking.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips or your chosen mix-ins evenly on top of the cheesecake layer for extra texture and chocolate flavor.
  5. Bake and Cool: Bake the cups at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until the cheesecake layer is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Let them cool completely before removing from the pan.
  6. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the Loaded Brownie Cheesecake Cups for at least a few hours to let the flavors meld and the texture firm up, creating the perfect bite.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and egg for a smoother, lump-free cheesecake filling.
  • Line muffin tins with cupcake liners for easy removal and neat presentation.
  • Do not overbake; a slight jiggle in the cheesecake means it will set properly as it cools.
  • Chill thoroughly to enhance flavor, texture, and firmness.
  • Experiment with mix-ins like nuts, fruits, or chocolate chunks to customize your cups.
