    I like muffins – almost as much as I like cupcakes ;) 

    It is easy to explain – I like cupcakes much more, because of the topping. Muffins are not bad – don’t get me wrong – but without buttercream on top half of the fun is gone ;) These muffins here do have kind of a topping. A delicious cheesecake layer and streusel! Streusel are almost as good as buttercream, so these muffins count as really good!

    I made the base with semi-sweet chocolate (71%) to give it a good, strong chocolate flavor and added some nougat to give it an extra kick. If you don’t have nougat, use Nutella – everything is better with Nutella :) Another change you could make – replace some of the milk with espresso to give it even more flavor… or some nuts? That is the good thing about muffins, you can mix in a lot and it works almost every time :)

    About the paper liners – you can use regular ones of course, but I recommend to fill them a bit less so it won’t overflow…

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • Deutsch

    1. For the streusel topping whisk together sugars and salt. Add melted butter and vanilla extract and mix with a fork. Add the flour and mix until combined and streusel have formed. Set aside. 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, cocoa powder and vanilla extract until well combined. Set aside.

    4. Add the melted and cooled chocolate to the flour mix and whisk. Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix. Add milk and mix until just combined. Do not overmix. Cut the nougat in small pieces (works best when cooled before) and fold in.

    5. Start with the cocolate batter and fill the paper liners half full. Top with a layer of the cheesecake mix and sprinkle with streusel. Bake for 23-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

    1. Für die Streusel Zucker mit Salz vermischen. Die geschmolzene Butter und Vanille Extrakt zugeben und mit einer Gabel verrühren. Mehl zugeben und alles verrühren, bis es sich gut verbunden hat und Streusel entstanden sind. Zur Seite stellen. 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, Kakao und Vanille Extrakt verrühren, bis sich alles gut verbunden hat. Zur Seite stellen.

    4. Die flüssige und etwas abgekühlte Schokolade zum Mehl-Mix geben und verrühren. Eier und Vanille Extrakt zugeben und kurz unterrühren. Milch zugeben und alles nur solange rühren, bis es sich gerade mal verbunden hat. Nougat in kleine Würfel schneiden (geht am besten, wenn es vorher im Kühlschrank war) und unterheben.

    5. Die Muffinförmchen erst mit Schokoladenteig befüllen – etwa halb voll – und dann die Cheesecake Masse darauf verteilen und mit den Streuseln bestreuen. Alles im Ofen für 23-25 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.

    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. ;)
