Cheesecake Swirl Brownie Bites

Ingredients

For the brownie portion:

  • 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, roughly chopped
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • heaping 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

For the Cheesecake Portion:

  • 1 8-oz. package cream cheese, softened
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 egg yolk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a mini-muffin tin and set aside.

For the Brownies:

  1. In a medium-sized glass bowl set on top of a pot of simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter. Stir together until smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and whisk in the sugar. Add the eggs one at a time and whisk in until smooth. Stir in the vanilla.
  3. Sprinkle the sea salt, flour and baking powder over the wet ingredients. Stir until smooth and well-combined but don't over-mix.

For the Cheesecake Batter:

  1. Beat together the softened cream cheese with the egg yolk and sugar until super smooth and clump free.

To Assemble:

  1. Fill a pastry bag with the cheesecake batter and cut a small opening at the tip. Fill each muffin well 1/2 way full of brownie batter. Pipe a layer of cheesecake batter on top of the brownie, and then add another large dollop of brownie batter. Use a skewer or toothpick to swirl the batters together. (The batter can reach just about the top of the well, but not above it.)
  2. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
