Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin pan.

  3. Melt the butter, then combine it with sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, food coloring, salt, espresso powder, and vinegar.
  4. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
  5. Gently fold in all-purpose flour using a spatula until just combined.
  6. Beat cream cheese with additional sugar and vanilla extract until smooth, then fold in the egg yolk.
  7. Spoon 1 tablespoon of brownie batter into each cup, add 1 teaspoon of cream cheese filling, then top with another teaspoon of brownie batter.
  8. Swirl layers with a toothpick to create a marbled effect.
  9. Bake for about 12 minutes and check at the 10-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
  10. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
