These little chocolate cream cheese muffins are just amazing, hard not to fall in love with them as they are very sophisticated and the taste is beyond words. Who doesn’t love chocolate in combination with cream cheese.

You can also add different flavors like orange or lemon zest or different types of nuts to suit your own tastes.

These muffins are just perfect to spoil yourself and your family in the morning alongside a good cup of coffee.

    Looks good though one looks like it got a bit deformed or was that on purpose?

    It doesn’t say anything about where to add butter

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      You are right, sorry about that, thank you for noticing. Just fixed it.

    I’m from Australia, just wondering if the measurements are metric?

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      I used cups and grams too, for the ingredients for this recipe. Wherever is cup I used a regular cup of 240 ml. 

  9. Sang Author says:

    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.

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      I am glad to hear that. Hope more of my recipes will enter in your recipe book. 🙂 

  10. Stacey Author says:

    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

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      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?

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      If you don't have yogurt use some milk. Yogurt helps the muffins to get moist and tender. 

  12. Isis Author says:

    Looks amazing, will definitely try it out!! May I ask what type of yogurt is used? Greek or non-fat or ..? Thank you!

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      I use regular yogurt.. like 3.5 % fat.

  13. Isis Author says:

    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. 🙁

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      Not sure what happened, these are not supposed to be too dry, what type of flour did u use?

  14. Fatima Author says:

    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

  15. carmen Author says:

    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.
