Description

These Loaded Brownie Cheesecake Cups combine rich, fudgy brownie bases topped with creamy, chocolate-studded cheesecake layers. Individually portioned and topped with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and optional crushed nuts, these decadent treats are perfect for parties or indulgent desserts.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 cup brownie mix
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup water

Cheesecake Topping

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Toppings

  • Whipped cream, for topping
  • Chocolate syrup, for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup crushed nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners to prepare for baking.
  2. Prepare Brownie Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, egg, and water. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  3. Bake Brownie Bases: Divide the brownie batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about halfway. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and allow cooling slightly.
  4. Make Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg, mixing thoroughly. Stir in sour cream and mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  5. Assemble Cheesecake Cups: Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the cooled brownie bases in the liners, filling almost to the top.
  6. Bake Cheesecake Cups: Return the tin to the oven and bake for an additional 15-18 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and lightly puffed. Remove from the oven and cool completely in the pan.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the cups for at least 2 hours to fully set the cheesecake layer.
  8. Serve and Garnish: Before serving, top each cheesecake cup with whipped cream, drizzle with chocolate syrup, and sprinkle with crushed nuts if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the cheesecake filling.
  • Use cupcake liners to make removal and serving easier.
  • Chocolate chips add texture and extra chocolate flavor to the cheesecake layer.
  • Crushed nuts are optional but add a pleasant crunch and contrast.
  • Refrigerate well to allow cheesecake to set properly for best results.
