How to make chocolate marble cream cheese muffins
To make these delicious marbled chocolate and cream cheese muffins, start by preheating your oven to 190°C (370°F). Line your muffin tins with paper cups or use silicone muffin cups if you prefer.
How to prepare the chocolate cake mixture
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, pinch of salt, cocoa powder, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: yogurt, oil, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped chocolate. Spoon the chocolate mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full.
How to prepare the cream cheese filling
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese with sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spoon the cream cheese mixture on top of the chocolate mixture in each muffin cup. Use a knife to gently swirl the two mixtures together, creating a marbled effect.
Bake the muffins for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack before serving.
Hope you will try these chocolate cream cheese muffins and enjoy them as much as we did.

Looks good though one looks like it got a bit deformed or was that on purpose?
Great combination of flavors! I wouldn’t be able to stop at just one!
These look amazing! I love the pudding mixture & the cream cheese swirl! And the flower shaped muffins are adorable!! These sound absolutely incredible!
Looks wonderful. I recently made a batch of cheesecake brownies that were amazing and probably had a similar flavor.
it looks realy delicious haha. but i still make a mess at my kicthen maybe i m not a born cook.
These look delicious, would love to try this 🙂
It doesn’t say anything about where to add butter
You are right, sorry about that, thank you for noticing. Just fixed it.
I’m from Australia, just wondering if the measurements are metric?
I used cups and grams too, for the ingredients for this recipe. Wherever is cup I used a regular cup of 240 ml.
Thanks for your reply. Our (metric) 1 cup is 250ml, therefore this recipe uses U.S measurements. I used metric to give it a go and they turned out really nice. I ate a similar muffin at a Christmas fair and tried looking for a recipe, this one is the closest I could find on the Internet – nothing on Australian sites. So thanks for sharing. This one is going in my recipe book.
I am glad to hear that. Hope more of my recipes will enter in your recipe book. 🙂
Hi there thAnks for the recipe! But I would like to ask if, going according to the U.S measurements, 3/4 cup flour would mean about approximately 188g of flour, no? Thank you!! Cuz I’m just a beginner in this xD
Using US measurements 1 cup (of 240 ml) has about 125 g of flour. So 3/4 cup should only be about 90-95 g of flour. So for this recipe you will need 1 3/4 cup flour which is around 215 g of flour. Hope it helps. If any other questions let me know.
They look amazing, but I was wondering if it was necesary to add yogurt. Is it neutral?
If you don't have yogurt use some milk. Yogurt helps the muffins to get moist and tender.
Looks amazing, will definitely try it out!! May I ask what type of yogurt is used? Greek or non-fat or ..? Thank you!
I use regular yogurt.. like 3.5 % fat.
Just tried this recipe today and the muffins didn’t turn out great. In fact, this batch is the worst I have ever made in my life. Although it smelled great, the texture was spongy/clumpy. Not sure what went wrong. The batter looked dry compared to what I am used to. 🙁
Not sure what happened, these are not supposed to be too dry, what type of flour did u use?
Made these in mini cupcake 24-hole tin and they are delicious! Great combination of flavours, gooey chocolate pieces, perfectly set cheesecake – all round fanstastic recipe! Thank you so much 🙂 Love your website and your beautifully edited videos. Can’t wait to try more of your recipes. Xxx
hi I really would like to try this recipe but could I ask please if it is possible to have all the ingredients listed with their correspondent metric measurement as it is very frustrating having to go through cookbooks to get the conversions? Thanks and well done.
I just want to say thank you for your wonderful website. I just stumbled across it. I am so excited to start trying some of these amazing recipes.
