Description

These Choco-Cheesecake Cookie Bites combine rich chocolate brownie batter with a creamy cheesecake filling in a marbled, bite-sized treat that’s perfect for parties or a decadent snack. Soft, fudgy, and swirled with luscious cream cheese, these bites are easy to make and irresistible for chocolate lovers.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 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

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet or a suitable baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the cookie bites after baking.
  2. Make the Brownie Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. In a separate large bowl, blend the melted unsalted butter with granulated sugar until smooth and combined. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined, being careful not to overmix. Finally, fold in the semisweet chocolate chips gently.
  3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and lemon zest (if using) until creamy, smooth, and well incorporated. This will add a tangy contrast to the rich chocolate base.
  4. Assemble the Cookie Bites: Pour approximately two-thirds of the brownie batter into the lined baking pan and spread evenly to cover the base. Then, drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake filling over the brownie layer, gently spreading it to form a thin, even layer. Next, dollop or drizzle the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake layer. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the two batters gently, creating a beautiful marbled effect.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The edges should be set and slightly firm while the center remains soft and slightly gooey. This ensures a fudgy texture in the bites. Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting.
  6. Cut into Bites: Once fully cooled, lift the baked brownie-cheesecake slab out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer it to a cutting board and slice into small bite-sized squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy these decadent treats!

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to ensure a smooth cheesecake filling without lumps.
  • Use parchment paper to easily lift the cookie bites out of the pan after baking.
  • For a more pronounced chocolate flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
  • The lemon zest is optional but adds a nice fresh contrast to the sweetness.
  • Store leftover cookie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
