Mini Brownie Cheesecake Bites

Brownies are one of my favourite baked treats to have and in mini form, they are so yummy.  The other ingredient I also love is cream cheese frosting.  So these mini brownie cheesecake bites are the perfect combination of both.

These Mini Brownie Cheesecake Bites are so fudgy and delicious with the cream cheese filling that it's hard to just have one. The cream cheese filling goes so well with the chocolate fudge brownie.

They are so easy and quick to make as a sweet treat for any brownie lovers.

I found that not all the brownies were easy to remove from the mini cupcake tins, even though the tins were sprayed with oil.  I think next time I might try baking them with the cupcake liners.

Ingredients

· 100 grams butter
· 150 grams dark chocolate

Tips

· You can also bake this mixture in a brownie tin.
· Make sure the melted chocolate and butter mixture is not hot when you add the egg as you might cook the egg.
· Once you have the brownie mixture you can add walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts or chocolate chunks for a bit of added texture to the cooked brownie.
