The filling is an essential element of this delicious recipe, and to achieve a perfect consistency, start by mixing the cheese very well. Choose a soft cheese, such as cottage cheese or ricotta, to facilitate homogenization. Once the cheese has become creamy, add the other ingredients, such as powdered sugar, vanilla, and, if desired, some pieces of candied fruit or chocolate. Mix everything until you obtain a uniform composition, then set the filling aside to rest and let the flavors blend.
For the muffins, start by preparing the dry ingredients. In a bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. These will form the base of your dough. In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients, which include eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. This combination will add moisture and flavor to the dough. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until you have a smooth batter without lumps.
Once the batter is ready, prepare the muffin tin. Grease each compartment with butter or use paper liners to facilitate the removal of the muffins after baking. Pour the batter into each compartment, filling them about two-thirds full. Then, add a spoonful of the cream cheese you prepared earlier on top of each muffin. This addition will provide a delicious contrast between the moist chocolate and the creamy filling.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Once the temperature is right, place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes. The muffins are ready when the cream cheese on top takes on a slight brown tint, and a tester (a toothpick) inserted into the chocolate batter comes out clean. When baked, let the muffins cool slightly in the tin, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delicious muffins for breakfast or as a sweet snack between meals!
