Ingredients
Scale
- 200 grams (7 oz) dark chocolate, chopped
- 115 grams (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
- 150 grams (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams (1/2 cup) cocoa powder
- 100 grams (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 225 grams (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 50 grams (1/4 cup) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake filling)
- 100 grams (about 1 cup) crushed cookies (such as Oreos)
- Whipped cream, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter, stirring until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs. Add the melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt, and fold gently until just combined.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the brownie batter into each cupcake liner, filling them halfway.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of the cheesecake filling on top of the brownie batter in each cup and swirl slightly with a toothpick.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are slightly soft. Let cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Top each cup with whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed cookies before serving.
