Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Grease a mini muffin pan*{mine has 24 cavities in it} and set aside.
- For the Cream Cheese Layer
In a small bowl mix together the cream cheese, sugar, butter, egg yolk and vanilla until nice and smooth. Fold in the chocolate mini morsels and set aside. - For the Chocolate Layer
In a medium sized glass bowl, microwave the butter and chocolate for 1 minute. - Stir well then continue to cook and stir at 30 second intervals until the chocolate is just about melted.
- Stir the sugar into the chocolate mixture and set aside.
- In another small bowl, stir together the flour, salt, and baking soda and set aside.
- Once the chocolate mixture has cooled, stir in the egg, 1 tbs water and vanilla into the chocolate mixture until the mixture is well blended and the sugar dissolves and the chocolate batter is nice and smooth. Stir in the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture until everything is combined.
- Next spoon a 1/2 tablespoon of the chocolate mixture into each mini-muffin cup. Then spoon 1 tsp of the cream cheese mixture over the top of the chocolate layer. Then finally add another teaspoon of the chocolate batter for a third and final layer.
- Bake for 11- 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool on a muffin pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes then invert brownies and place on a platter. These will go quick so you may want to make a double batch.
