Description

Choco Cheesecake Cookie Bites are delightful, bite-sized treats that merge the richness of brownies with the creaminess of cheesecake. These easy-to-make cookies feature a fudgy chocolate brownie base and a smooth, tangy cheesecake filling, creating a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The marbled swirl pattern adds a beautiful visual appeal, making them ideal for any occasion, from casual gatherings to special celebrations. They can also be prepared in advance for convenience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the brownie base:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • For the cheesecake filling:
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. For the brownie batter: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, blend the melted butter with granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients and fold in the chocolate chips to create the chocolate cookie dough.
  5. For the cheesecake filling: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and lemon zest (if using) until smooth and creamy.
  6. Assemble the cookie bites: Pour 2/3 of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake filling over the brownie base and gently spread it into a thin layer.
  8. Drizzle the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake layer and swirl the two layers together with a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect, creating your choco cheesecake cookie bites.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly soft.
  10. Let the choco cheesecake cookie bites cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Once cooled, lift the parchment paper to remove the baked mixture from the pan and cut it into bite-sized squares.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to prevent lumps in the filling.
  • The lemon zest is optional but adds a bright note to the cheesecake filling.
  • Do not overbake to ensure a fudgy texture.
  • These bites can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerated for up to a week.
