Description
These Loaded Brownie Cheesecake Cups combine rich, fudgy brownie crumbles with a smooth cheesecake layer in individual servings. They’re decadent, elegant, and perfect for parties, gatherings, or a personal indulgence.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fudgy brownies, crumbled
- 1½ cups cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with liners or grease lightly.
- Press crumbled brownies firmly into the bottom of each muffin cup to form a base.
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon cheesecake mixture evenly over brownie base in each cup.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until cheesecake is just set but still soft in the center.
- Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Optional: Drizzle melted chocolate or caramel on top before serving for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Use boxed brownie mix for ease—just underbake slightly for a moist base.
- Try almond or coffee extract instead of vanilla for a flavor twist.
- Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips between layers for added texture.
- Serve with whipped cream and berries for a festive touch.
- Mini versions work well in mini muffin tins; reduce bake time to 12–15 minutes.
