Description
Delicious mini cheesecakes with a rich brownie bottom, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and butter together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate mixture with granulated sugar, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Stir in flour and salt until just incorporated.
- Divide the brownie batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about halfway. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 egg until smooth. Add the sour cream and mix until fully combined.
- Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer in each muffin cup, filling them to the top. Bake for an additional 15-18 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- For a richer chocolate flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the brownie batter.
- You can also top each cheesecake with fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for added flair.
