Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Prepare brownie batter according to package or recipe instructions.
Spoon 2 tbsp of brownie batter into each liner, filling about halfway.
In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
Add 1 tbsp of cheesecake mixture on top of brownie layer in each cup.
Bake 20–25 minutes, until brownies are set and cheesecake is slightly firm.
Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before topping.
Add desired toppings such as chocolate drizzle, caramel, or crushed cookies before serving.

Notes

Swirl peanut butter into the cheesecake layer for extra flavor.

Add crushed peppermint candy for a holiday twist.

Top with mini marshmallows and broil briefly for a s’mores-inspired version.

Best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.

Use liners for easy removal; if not, grease pan well.
