Chocolate-Cheese Supreme Muffins

For a while, I had a craving for chocolate muffins, and my little one wanted something with cheese, so we met in the middle and decided to create a delicacy that would satisfy both desires. So, we got to work and prepared chocolate muffins with cream cheese, absolutely delicious, with an intense chocolate flavor, and on top, more chocolate, since it’s the month of love and deserves such a special dessert.

To prepare a large batch, which is usually what I want, but if you intend to use a 12-muffin tray, it is advisable to halve the quantities.

We start by mixing the dry ingredients: 250 g of flour, 150 g of sugar, 50 g of cocoa powder, 1 packet of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. It is important to combine them well to obtain a uniform batter. Then, using a mixer, beat 3 eggs well, then add 250 ml of milk and 100 ml of oil. Continue mixing and slowly incorporate the dry ingredients, followed by 150 g of melted chocolate. Finally, add 100 ml of hot water, mixing until the batter becomes smooth and creamy.

Separately, in another bowl, we will prepare the cream cheese. Mix 200 g of cream cheese with 50 g of sugar and one egg, mixing well until you get a fine and creamy mixture.

In the special muffin tray, place the muffin papers, then with a large spoon, fill each cavity halfway with the chocolate mixture. Then, add a teaspoon of the cream cheese and fill with the chocolate batter up to 3-4 mm from the top edge of the papers. Bake the muffins at 180 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes, then let them cool completely.

Meanwhile, we can prepare the topping. By whipping 200 ml of cream with 30 g of sugar, we then add the cream cheese and 100 g of melted chocolate, mixing everything until it becomes smooth. Put the mixture into a pastry bag and let it chill for half an hour.

When the muffins are completely cool, we can decorate them with the chocolate cream, and for an elegant look, we grate a few curls of chocolate on top. These muffins are not only delicious but also beautifully presented, perfect to be enjoyed with loved ones. So, don’t hesitate to try them and enjoy every bite! Enjoy!
