Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional for extra creaminess)

Optional Mix-ins and Toppings

  • Chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Fresh or frozen raspberries
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Cinnamon or espresso powder
  • Powdered sugar, fresh berries, chocolate or caramel sauce for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Base: Start by melting butter and mixing it with cocoa powder, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and all-purpose flour until smooth. This creates the fudgy base that will support the cheesecake layer perfectly.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese with sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and sour cream or Greek yogurt until silky and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain for a smooth finish.
  3. Layer the Batters: Pour the brownie batter evenly into a greased mini muffin tin or bite-sized molds, then dollop cheesecake filling on top. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the two layers together for a marbled effect.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Bake at 325°F (160°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft, which ensures a moist, luscious texture.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the bites to cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least an hour for the cheesecake layer to firm up beautifully before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth batters and even baking.
  • Don’t overmix the cheesecake filling to prevent cracks; mix just until combined.
  • Swirl the batters gently to preserve distinct layers and create an attractive marbled design.
  • Check doneness early; slightly underbaked centers yield the best chewy texture.
  • Chill before serving to enhance flavor melding and make handling easier.
