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 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Toppings

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Follow the brownie mix package instructions to prepare the batter, mixing in the required oil, eggs, and water until smooth.
  2. Fill Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Spoon the brownie batter into each liner until about two-thirds full to allow space for the cheesecake filling.
  3. Make 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, ensuring no lumps remain.
  4. Add Cheesecake Layer: Spoon approximately one tablespoon of the cheesecake filling on top of the brownie batter in each muffin cup, gently spreading to cover the surface.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheesecake topping is set and the brownies are cooked through.
  6. Cool Completely: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the brownie cheesecake cups to cool completely in the tin to room temperature.
  7. Add Toppings: Once cooled, sprinkle the tops with chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, then finish by drizzling the caramel sauce over each cup for a decadent touch.

Notes

  • You can customize the cheesecake filling by adding a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder for extra depth of flavor.
  • Use your favorite nuts or omit them if allergic; pecans or almonds work well too.
  • For a dairy-free alternative, swap cream cheese with vegan cream cheese and use dairy-free chocolate chips and caramel.
  • Ensure brownies are fully cooled before adding toppings to prevent melting.
