Great recipe Sam! Made these for my daughter’s birthday and they were a hit as I expected. Your recipes never disappoint. I did however slightly modify it. 😬 I filled the muffin tin with all the chocolate batter and then injected the cream cheese filling with a pastry bag. So good!

I’m so glad you enjoyed them so much, Chloe! I’m so sorry for the confusion! I will have to go make those corrections. The buttermilk should be the 60ml as you stated, but the sugar should be done in grams, which would be 135. Thank you for catching that. 🙂

Delicious muffins! I also found your recipe because I missed the Starbucks chocolate cheesecake muffins so much, and dreamed of recreating them, and I have to say that these might taste even better! This is the best muffin recipe I’ve ever made, the texture of the muffin is perfectly moist and tender, and goes perfectly with the cheesecake, I am delighted!

I just have one comment: I think there’s a mistake in the conversion of buttermilk from cup to ml: 1/4 cup would make around 60ml, not 120. Luckily I had a measuring bowl that indicates both units, and I was able to catch myself before pouring double the amount into my batter! After noticing that I also noted that 2/3 cups sugar should be converted to 158ml, not 135ml. Hope you can change that for future ml users!

Anyway, thank you for your recipe, and for making my chocolate-cheesecake muffin dreams come true!

Hi Lisa! Plain milk won’t work by itself, but you can use it to make our easy buttermilk substitute. Hope that helps 😊

Can you use something other than buttermilk? Would 2% be ok?

Hi. This is the third time making these! This evening I’m making them for Christmas at my parents tomorrow. My brother and mother are sweets fanatics so I know they’ll be a hit. Delicious!! Oh and I love that you break down and explain different reactions between things and why they are used. I like to learn as I cook/bake and I’m a laboratory scientist lol. Happens Holidays!

Starbucks used to have a chocolate muffin with a cream cheese center that we liked a lot. But, they dropped it, so I had to make some myself. I did a web search and your recipe came up near the top. So, I tried it out today. The results were wonderful, so this recipe goes into my bake-again list. I’ll try more of your recipes, such as bread, pizza dough and blue berry cheesecake muffins real soon.

The first time I make a recipe, I usually find something I can do better the next time. In this case, I put too much of the chocolate mix into the liners and didn’t have enough left to properly cover the cheesecake center. But, that didn’t affect the texture or taste, so it was more an aesthetic thing.

I baked it using convection baking. I just find I get more even results that way. When I tested it after 25 minutes, I found the toothpick came out sticky. Another 5 minutes and it was perfect. I find my new range seems to require more cooking time than my old range so that wasn’t a surprise.

Thanks for such a fabulous and decadent recipe.

Hi Pam, I know it has been a while since you made these muffins, but I am curious how long you cooked the mini muffins. These sound wonderful, but I think a mini size is perfect. Thanks, Susan

Made these for my husband’s birthday – it was my first time trying this recipe and I was so nervous they weren’t going to turn out. Thankfully they turned out better than I expected and are so delicious! Will definitely be making these again in the near future

Hi Nina! You could use full fat plain Greek yogurt instead 😊

I’ve made other versions of this recipe and found the cupcake portion to be crumbly and too light. This recipe has a denser, very moist cake portion that perfectly pairs with the cheesecake. My family loved these and they were gone with a few hours. Highly recommend!

These are too good to be true!
Absolutely the best flavor and texture! I’ve made them half a dozen times and they are a hit each time!
