Ingredients
  

1 cup brownie mix (plus ingredients needed for mix)

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (for topping)

Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with parchment paper or paper cupcake liners.

    Prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the brownie batter into each muffin cup, pressing it down slightly to form a base.

      Bake the brownie bases for 10-12 minutes, or until slightly firm. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

        In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth with an electric mixer.

          Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

            Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

              Stir in the sour cream and flour until smooth and creamy. Avoid overmixing.

                Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the slightly cooled brownie bases, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

                  Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top of the cheesecakes for added texture and flavor.

                    Bake in the preheated oven for an additional 18-20 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

                      Once done, turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecakes to slowly cool for about 30 minutes before transferring them to the refrigerator.

                        Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving, ideally overnight for best texture.

                            - Presentation Tips: Serve the mini cheesecakes on a decorative platter and top each with fresh berries if desired. You can also drizzle some chocolate sauce for an extra touch of indulgence!
