You could also call those little beauties “muffins” – but they look more like mini cakes I think. At leaste the ones I made looked like that ;)

Anyways – these mini chocolate cheesecake cakes (muffins) are made with chocolate and cheesecake – who would have guessed? A delicious chocolate base with little chocolate chunks (if you like), topped with a cheesecake layer seasoned with a hint of lemon and vanilla… I don’t know about you, but sounds pretty damn good for me!

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

  • English
  • Deutsch
1. Chop the chocolate and melt together with the butter in a bowl over simmering water. Set aside.

2. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners. In a large bowl mix flour with sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder until combined and set aside.

3. For the cheesecake layer mix cheesecake with egg, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest and the seeds of the vanilla bean until well combined. Set aside.

4. Add the melted and cooled chocolate to the flour mix and whisk. Add eggs and mix. Add milk and mix until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chopped chocolate (optional).

5. Start with the cocolate batter and fill the paper liners half full. Top with a layer of the cheesecake and bake for 20-23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

1. Schokolade grob hacken und mit der Butter in einer Schüssel über einem Topf mit köchelndem Wasser langsam schmelzen. Zur Seite stellen.

2. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Muffinblech mit Papierförmchen bestücken. In einer großen Schüssel das Mehl mit dem Zucker, Backpulver, Natron, Salz und Kakao vermischen und zur Seite stellen.

3. Für die Cheesecake Masse den Frischkäse mit dem Ei, Zucker, Stärke, Zitronenschale und dem Mark der Vanilleschote verrühren, bis sich alles gut verbunden hat. Zur Seite stellen.

4. Die flüssige und etwas abgekühlte Schokolade zum Mehl-Mix geben und verrühren. Eier zugeben und kurz unterrühren. Milch zugeben und alles nur solange rühren, bis es sich gerade mal verbunden hat. Gehackte Schokolade unterheben (optional).

5. Die Muffinförmchen erst mit Schokoladenteig befüllen – etwa halb voll – und dann die Cheesecake Masse darauf verteilen und alles im Ofen für 20-23 Minuten backen. Mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

    Hallo Marc,
    hast du noch Schokodrops in die Cheesecake Masse gegeben oder wandert die Schokomasse nach oben für die kleinen Schokopünktchen?

      Hallo Ronja,
      die Schokoladenmasse kommt von alleine nach Oben :)
      Je nachdem wie dick die Käsekuchenschicht ist, ist das mal mehr mal weniger.

      LG
      Marc

Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
