Pumpkin cheesecake is great on its own, but when you stuff it inside a chocolate muffin it’s even more delicious!
There’s just something magical about the combination of chocolate and pumpkin, and these muffins are the best of all worlds. The tender muffins are filled with pumpkin cheesecake and chocolate chips for a super unique dessert option.
How do you make pumpkin cheesecake muffins?
These muffins are verging on cupcake, but I decided to declare them as muffins because there’s no frosting involved. But who needs frosting when you can have a chocolate chip pumpkin cheesecake filling instead? First I whipped up a basic chocolate batter. I filled the muffin tins half full, added a dollop of cheesecake filling, then covered the top with more batter. A sprinkling of mini chocolate chips on top really amp up the chocolate flavor.
When you first see these muffins they look unassuming, like your basic chocolate muffin. When you bite into them and encounter the creamy pumpkin cheesecake filling, you know you’ve found yourself a special treat. Still hungry?
