Description

These Ultimate Loaded Brownie Cheesecake Cups combine rich, fudgy brownie crusts with a creamy cheesecake center, topped with chocolate chips, crunchy walnuts, and a drizzle of caramel sauce. Ready in just 30 minutes, they are the perfect indulgent treat for chocolate and cheesecake lovers.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Crust

  • 1 box brownie mix (plus required oil, eggs, and water as per package instructions)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 tbsp caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions, mixing the required oil, eggs, and water with the brownie mix until smooth.
  2. Fill the Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Spoon the brownie batter into each muffin cup, filling about two-thirds full to allow space for the cheesecake filling.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  4. Add the Cheesecake Layer: Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the cheesecake filling mixture into the center of each brownie-filled muffin cup, spreading gently without mixing them together.
  5. Bake: Bake the brownie cheesecake cups in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheesecake portion is set and the brownie edges are cooked through.
  6. Cool: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the brownie cheesecake cups cool completely in the tin to room temperature. This helps the cheesecake set fully and makes them easier to remove.
  7. Add Toppings and Serve: Once cooled, top each brownie cheesecake cup with chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, and drizzle caramel sauce over each one before serving for an irresistible finish.

Notes

  • You can customize the toppings by substituting walnuts with pecans or almonds for different textures and flavors.
  • For extra gooeyness, add extra caramel drizzle just before serving.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Store leftover cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Bring to room temperature or warm slightly before serving for best flavor and texture.
