Ingredients
  

Brownie layer

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter 56 grams
  • ¼ cup bittersweet chocolate chips or 1 ½ oz chopped chocolate
  • ½ cup granulated sugar 100 grams
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt
  • cup all-purpose flour 40 grams

Cheesecake layer

  • 16 ounces cream cheese 2 packages, 455 grams, softened to room temperature
  • cup granulated sugar 66 grams
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping (optional)

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream 250 ml
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar 50 grams
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Brownie layer

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a regular muffin pan with paper cupcake liners or grease well with nonstick spray.
  • In a small saucepan melt chocolate and butter until smooth.
  • Remove from heat and stir in sugar.
  • Add egg and vanilla extract and stir until smooth.
  • Fold in salt and flour.
  • Divide brownie batter between the 12 muffin cups. Bake until brownies just appear set, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

Add cheesecake layer

  • With an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese, egg, sugar and vanilla until smooth.
  • Spoon over brownie bottoms, filling cups just over ¾ cup full.
  • Bake until tops appear dry and centers barely jiggle when shaken, about 12-15 minutes.
  • Let cups cool completely, about 1 hour at room temperature or chilled in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Add topping

  • Beat heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract to medium peaks. Spoon or pipe on top of mini cheesecakes.
  • Drizzle with chocolate sauce and top with berries.
  • Cheesecakes should be stored in the fridge.
