- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350º. Spray mini-muffin tins with cooking spray and set aside.
- Whisk together the sugar, ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and salt in a large bowl. Add melted butter and vanilla to the sugar and cocoa powder mixture and mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each one. When the batter looks smooth and shiny, fold in the flour and then mix only until incorporated. Don’t over mix. Fold the chocolate chips into the brownie batter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and egg yolk until its is smooth and creamy.
- Spoon about a tablespoon of brownie batter into the prepared mini-muffin tin, filling about ¾ full. Add about ½ tablespoon of the cheesecake batter on the top of the brownie batter. Use a knife to swirl the cheesecake into the brownie batter.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before removing them from the muffin-tin.
