I veganized an old family recipe and it was a huge success. These are classic chocolate cupcakes with a chocolate chip cheesecake center. Popular with omnivores, as well as vegans!
Ingredients
Filling
- 1 (8 ounce) tub vegan cream cheese
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons plain non-dairy yogurt
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons white sugar, or as needed
Cupcakes
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners.
Step 2
Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt for cupcakes together in a bowl. Add water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla and beat until combined; be careful not to overmix.
Step 3
Beat vegan cream cheese and sugar for filling together in a separate bowl until smooth. Add vegan yogurt, cornstarch, vanilla, and salt and beat until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Step 4
Fill each prepared muffin cup 2/3 full with chocolate batter. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on top of the chocolate batter. Sprinkle the remaining sugar on top.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until both the cake and filling appear set, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes; these taste best when completely cooled.
Cook’s Notes:
Don't soften the vegan cream cheese! Use it straight from the fridge.
