Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners, lightly spraying each liner with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare your brownie batter and scoop about 1 tablespoon into each muffin cup, spreading evenly. Bake for 8-10 minutes until just set.
  3. Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add sugar, egg, vanilla, and heavy cream. Mix until silky and well combined.
  4. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie base, dividing evenly among the cups. Tap to remove air bubbles.
  5. Bake for 15-18 minutes until centers are just set but still jiggly. Cool for 10 minutes, then chill for at least 2 hours.
  6. Heat heavy cream until steaming, then pour over the chocolate chips. Let sit and stir until smooth to make ganache.
  7. Spoon ganache over each cheesecake and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips before serving.
