Description

These Ultimate Loaded Brownie Cheesecake Cups combine rich, fudgy brownie crusts with a creamy cheesecake filling, topped with chocolate chips, crunchy walnuts, and a drizzle of caramel sauce. Ready in just 30 minutes, these indulgent treats are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without spending hours in the kitchen.

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 your oven to 350°F (175°C). Follow the brownie mix package instructions to prepare the batter, incorporating the required oil, eggs, and water. Line a muffin tin with paper liners and fill each cup about two-thirds full with the brownie batter.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Assemble the Cups: Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture into each brownie-filled muffin cup, carefully layering it on top of the brownie batter without mixing.
  4. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheesecake filling is set and no longer jiggly in the center.
  5. Cool Completely: Remove from the oven and allow the brownie cheesecake cups to cool completely in the tin to room temperature so they set properly.
  6. Add Toppings and Serve: Once cooled, sprinkle the tops of each cup with chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. Drizzle with caramel sauce just before serving for an extra decadent touch.

Notes

  • You can customize the seasonings to taste, such as adding a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to the brownie batter for extra depth.
  • Ensure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps in the cheesecake filling.
  • Let the brownie cheesecake cups cool completely to ensure clean slices and to prevent the cheesecake from melting.
  • Use paper liners for easy removal and cleanup.
