1 tsp vanilla extract 🌿
⅓ cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder 🍫
½ cup (65g) all-purpose flour 🌾
¼ tsp salt 🧂

🧁 For the Cheesecake Layer

1 large egg 🥚
½ tsp vanilla extract 🌿

¼ cup mini chocolate chips 🍫

👩‍🍳 Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Make the brownie batter: In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking to combine. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined.
Layer the brownies: Spoon 1 tablespoon of brownie batter into the bottom of each muffin cup.
Make the cheesecake layer: In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, egg, and vanilla, mixing until creamy.
Assemble the cups: Spoon 1 ½ tablespoons of cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter in each cup. Use a toothpick to gently swirl for a marbled effect, if desired.
Top it off: Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and crushed Oreos or brownie crumbs for extra indulgence.
Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until the cheesecake is just set.
Cool and chill: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, transfer to a wire rack, then chill for 1 hour in the fridge.
Optional: Drizzle with melted chocolate before serving for the ultimate treat! 🍫✨
