Equipment

  • 24 count muffin pan metal or silicone
  • shot glass to press into the brownies and form cup

Ingredients

The Brownies:

  • 1 box brownie mix good quality brand
  • ingredients on box

The Cheesecake:

  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 ounces full fat cream cheese softened to room temp
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon EACH lemon juice and lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit:

  • Fresh or canned fruit of your choice

Instructions

The Brownies:

  • Prepare brownies according to box directions and temperature.
  • Pour into prepared mini muffin tin. Bake 8-10 minutes or until set and slightly shiny (don't overbake). Insert toothpick - some crumbs should attach to it.
  • Remove from the oven and while the brownies are still hot, gently press a shot glass into each brownie while still in the muffin pan to form the cup. Transfer to a cooling rack then set aside to cool.

The Cheesecake:

  • Add cold heavy whipping cream to a medium bowl. Using a hand mixer (use whisk attachment if available), whip the heavy cream 4-5 minutes on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
  • Transfer whipped cream to the refrigerator. In another medium bowl, add softened cream cheese and beat using a hand mixer on medium-high speed until it’s smooth and creamy. Blend in sugar, lemon juice and zest and vanilla.
  • Slowly blend in whipped cream with the cheesecake filling using a rubber spatula or spoon.
  • When the brownie cups are completely cool, top each with some of the cheesecake filling, dividing equally.
  • Top with fresh fruit of your choice. Can serve right away or refrigerate.

  2. Don't overmix the brownie batter.
  3. Use melted butter instead of vegetable oil.
  4. Add milk (or even half and half!) instead of water.
  5. Blend in a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  6. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of salt into the batter.
  7. Add a teaspoon of instant espresso powder.
  8. Add chopped candy or semi-sweet chocolate chocolate chips.
