Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 large muffin cups (2 3/4 inches in diameter and 1 1/4 inches deep). Make brownie mix as directed on box using oil, water and 2 of the eggs. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about 2 tablespoons per cup). Bake 15 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, in small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips on High 1 minute. Stir and microwave in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until chips are melted and smooth; set aside. In large bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Beat in sugar, remaining 2 eggs and the yogurt until blended. Add melted chocolate; beat until well blended.
3 Divide chocolate mixture evenly over warm brownie layer in cups (about 3 tablespoons per cup), filling each to top of cup. Cups will be full.
4 Bake 22 to 26 minutes longer or until set. Cool in pans 20 to 30 minutes. Carefully remove dessert cups from pan (cream cheese mixture will be soft); place on serving platter. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
5 To serve, remove paper; top each dessert cup with 1 tablespoon pie filling (including 2 or 3 cherries) and 1 tablespoon whipped cream topping. If desired, arrange cupcakes on pedestal cake plate covered with linen napkin. Garnish platter or plate with mint sprig. Store in refrigerator.

The dessert is great. The only thing I reccommend is getting the exact size foil baking cups it calls for. I used smaller ones, the regular size for cupcakes and I had too much brownie in the cups. I had to take some out before cream cheese mixture went in. Avoid using paper cups. If you use foil cups you do not need to use a cup cake tray. Enjoy!

I agree that these cupcakes are rich, but they are good. The only problem I had was, the cherries kept sliding off. Any suggestions?

EASY, beautiful and DELICIOUS! I noticed I had more cheesecake topping than needed for 24 cupcakes... No worries, as I plan to use it for some additional brownies. They look lovely, even without the cherry topping. I used paper and foil cupcake liners and they retained their shape very well. Also, allow the brownie layer to cool for 7-10 minutes, and they'll deflate a bit before adding the cheesecake layer. I used a knife to round the tops before popping back in the oven. I'm so excited! These are for a friend's birthday... Agreed, served at room temp for a chewy-soft brownie.

This is a great recipe for a ladies luncheon. Everyone wanted the recipe. It is rich and just enough to finish the meal on a sweet note.

this dessert is wonderful. starting with the ingredients, none are hard to find and the recipe itself was easy to follow. i got rave reviews! i agree with letting the cups have a chance to get to room temperature. definitely a must try.
