Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (60g) ricotta cheese
  • 1/3 cup (40g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg yolk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with parchment paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until combined but not overly mixed.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Mix in red food coloring and vanilla extract until evenly combined.
  6. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth and creamy.
  8. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of brownie batter into each muffin cup, add 1 teaspoon of cheesecake filling in the center, then top with another tablespoon of brownie batter, smoothing the top gently.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are set but centers are slightly soft; a toothpick near the edge should come out clean.
  10. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent cracking. Use softened cream cheese and ricotta for a smooth filling. Do not overmix the brownie batter to keep it tender. Line muffin tins with parchment or silicone liners for easy removal.
