I haven’t shared cupcakes on the blog since last Spring. Isn’t that crazy? Well don’t worry, today’s recipe will totally make up for my lack of cupcake posting!

To make these Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cupcakes, I used my FAVORITE chocolate cupcake base for these cupcakes. It’s rich and fudgy. They don’t get a big dome on top, but I like it that way because I like to swirl a large amount of frosting on top of each cupcake! There is a certain thing called “cupcake to frosting ratio.” I like mine to be 1:1.

The frosting is cream cheese based with some vanilla and mini chocolate chips. I added some extra chocolate chips for garnish! Feel free to add the amount of chips YOU like, some people (LIKE ME) enjoy the frosting filled with chips, some like a little less. You can’t go wrong either way! Just be sure to pile your cupcakes HIGH with frosting.
