Instructions

1. Prepare the Brownie Base
   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Prepare brownie mix according to package instructions. Divide batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each about halfway.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling
   In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

   Spoon a dollop of cheesecake mixture over each brownie base. Swirl slightly with a toothpick for a marbled effect or leave layered.
4. Bake
   Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until cheesecake is set and brownies are cooked through. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
5. Add Toppings
   Sprinkle with chocolate chips, nuts, or drizzle with caramel once cooled.
6. Serve
   Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving for best flavor and texture.

Tips for Success

• Don’t Overbake – The cheesecake layer should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
• Cool Completely – This helps the layers firm up and makes them easier to eat.
• Get Creative with Toppings – Try crushed cookies, fruit, or even whipped cream.
