Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 24-count mini muffin tin or line with paper liners and set aside.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 15-20 second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted. Let cool slightly.
Step 3
Whisk the granulated sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually fold this dry mixture into the chocolate mixture. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
Step 6
Spoon the brownie batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway full. Set aside.
Step 7
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step 8
Spoon a dollop of the peanut butter cheesecake mixture on top of the brownie batter in each muffin cup. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the cheesecake mixture into the brownie batter for a marbled effect, if desired.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the brownie portion comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
Step 10
Remove the brownie babies from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top of each brownie baby while they are still slightly warm to add a decorative and indulgent touch.
Step 12
Serve and enjoy these delightful Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownie Babies! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
