Decadent Cream Cheese Brownie Bites

These brownie bites feature a rich chocolate brownie base topped with a creamy layer of sweetened cream cheese. The recipe yields about 24 bites and takes approximately 30 minutes to prepare and bake.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
Make the Brownie Batter: In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt, mixing until just combined.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Bites: Fill each muffin tin cup halfway with brownie batter. Add a small spoonful of the cream cheese mixture on top of the brownie batter, then cover with more brownie batter until the cups are nearly full.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the brownie comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie bites to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
