Otherwise known as Brownie Cheesecake Cups! Soooooo cute and even more delicious! These are brownies with bits of cheesecake batter swirled into them. Just a little bit more decadent than a brownie, but not as rich as cheesecake – the most perfect indulgence!
I added some Kahlua to the recipe to make them even better 
Kahlua Brownie Cheesecake Cups
for the brownie batter:
5 Tbsp butter
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 eggs
1 Tbsp Kahlua, or other coffee liquor, or vanilla extract
2/3 c all-purpose flour
2/3 c sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
Melt the chocolate and butter together in the microwave, about 2 minutes, taking out at 30 sec intervals to stir together. Beat in sugar. Beat in eggs and Kahlua. Stir in flour and baking powder.
for the cheesecake batter:
3 Tbsp butter
4 ounces cream cheese
1 egg
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp Kahlua, or other coffee liquor, or vanilla extract
Beat all ingredients together with your hand mixer until smooth.
To Assemble:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 18 cups in cupcake pans. Spoon 1 Tbsp brownie batter into each cup. Top with 1 Tsp cheesecake batter. Top cheesecake batter with 1 more Tbsp brownie batter. Swirl the top two layers together to create the marbled look. Repeat for all cupcakes. Bake for 22-25 minutes, until tops are firm to the touch. Chill for at least 2 hours in the fridge, until the cheesecake has set.
