Brownie Cheesecake Hearts
- 15 small heart-shaped baking molds
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 1 (19.8 ounce) package chocolate chunk brownie mix
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 egg
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Butter the heart-shaped molds.
- Beat brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, and 1 egg together in a bowl until smooth and well mixed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared heart molds.
- Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Beat in 1 egg until smooth.
- Spoon a dollop of the cream cheese mixture into each heart mold and mix slightly with a knife to make decorative swirls of cream cheese filling in the brownie batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- While brownies are baking, place chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring after each time, until the chocolate is warm, smooth, and melted.
- Stir heavy cream into the chocolate. Mixture will be clumpy.
- Remove hearts from oven, and immediately spread about 1 tablespoon of chocolate mixture over each heart.
- Return the hearts to the oven and bake until the chocolate topping spreads out, about 5 minutes. Cool before serving.
