Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • Brownie mix or homemade brownie batter (quantity as per package or recipe)
  • Optional: Chopped walnuts or pecans (for nutty twist)
  • Optional: Cinnamon or espresso powder (for spiced delight)

Cheesecake Layer

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (65g) sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp sour cream or heavy cream
  • Optional: Fresh raspberry or strawberry preserves (to swirl in)
  • Optional: Peanut butter (to swirl in cheesecake or brownie layer)

Optional Toppings

  • Nuts
  • Chocolate chips
  • Fresh fruit
  • Powdered sugar
  • Chocolate sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Base: Mix your brownie batter according to the package directions or your homemade recipe. Ensure the batter is smooth and evenly combined for a fudgy texture. Add optional ingredients like nuts or spices if desired.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Mixture: In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until creamy and lump-free. Add sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and sour cream or heavy cream. Whip together until silky and smooth. Incorporate optional swirls like fruit preserves or peanut butter if preferred.
  3. Assemble the Layers: Grease a mini muffin tin. Spoon a small amount of brownie batter into each cup to form the base. Gently layer the cheesecake mixture over the brownie portion, filling each cup almost to the top. Add optional toppings if desired.
  4. Bake Until Perfect: Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Bake the assembled bites for 20-25 minutes until edges are set but cheesecake centers still have a slight jiggle. Avoid overbaking to keep them moist and creamy.
  5. Cool and Chill: Let the bites cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to fully set and develop flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth cheesecake mixture.
  • Do not overmix the cheesecake batter to prevent cracks.
  • Layer brownie and cheesecake carefully to avoid mixing.
  • Monitor baking time closely to maintain creamy texture.
  • Chill the bites before serving for easier removal and better texture.
