Chocolate Cheesecake Filled Cupcakes Recipes

CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350F / 180C / 160C fan and line your muffin tins with paper cases
• In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix well to combine.
• In a separate bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the melted butter and both sugars until smooth.
• Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl each time and beating well after each. Add the vanilla and beat to combine.
• Add ⅓ of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir through gently until just combined.
• Now add half of the buttermilk, mix gently again. Continue like this until all the flour and buttermilk is combined... just. It is important not to overmix or be too heavy handed otherwise your cupcakes will turn out dense and tough.
• Fill the cupcake cases to about only to about ½ full. Bake in the oven for around 18-20 minutes, turning the pan around in the oven half way through to make sure they bake evenly. When a toothpick inserted comes out with just a crumb or two, they are done.
• Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. Make sure they are completely cool before frosting.
• For the cheesecake filling, add the cream cheese, cream, vanilla and half the icing sugar to a bowl and beat using a handheld beater until smooth and creamy.
• Use a sharp knife or cupcake corer to cut a hole in the top of each cupcake, then fill each with around 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling. Set aside the rest.
• In another bowl, beat the butter and remaining sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the leftover cheesecake filling, cocoa and salt and beat just until smooth (don't overbeat).
• Pipe the frosting on top of your cupcakes then roll the edges in cookie crumbs.

CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE CUPCAKES WITH GANACHE FROSTING

Steps:

• Place rack in the middle of oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with cupcake papers.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, and set aside. Using a mixer, cream the butter and 3/4 cup sugar until pale yellow, about 1 minute. Add the egg and stir until just combined. Gently add half of the flour mixture and stir until just incorporated. Mix in the milk. Add the remaining flour mixture and stir until combined. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, 2 tablespoons sugar, and vanilla. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
• Fill prepared cupcake liners with enough chocolate batter to just cover the bottom. Add a dollop of the cream cheese filling to each, then top with remaining batter (cream cheese filling should not be visible).
• Bake for 20 minutes. Let cupcakes stand in the pan for 3 minutes and then remove and allow to cool completely on a rack.
• Dip each cupcake into the ganache, forming an even layer of frosting. Place in the refrigerator to set, about 15 minutes.
• Place a heat-proof bowl over a pot of simmering water, and whisk together the chocolate, cream, and espresso powder (if using). Continue whisking until chocolate is melted and the mixture is thick, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
