Nutella Cheesecake Cupcakes combine the rich flavor of Nutella with a creamy cheesecake filling and a soft, spongy cupcake base. A perfect indulgent treat that’s easy to make and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup whole milk

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup Nutella (plus extra for swirling)

Instructions

  1. Make the Cupcake Base: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Gradually add dry ingredients alternating with milk, mixing until just combined. Spoon batter into cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Gently fold in Nutella, leaving some streaks for a marbled effect.
  3. Assemble the Cupcakes: Spoon a generous dollop of the cheesecake filling over each cupcake base. Swirl a teaspoon of Nutella on top and use a toothpick or skewer to create a marbled effect.
  4. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the cheesecake is set. Let cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Add mini chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture.

Top with a drizzle of Nutella and chopped hazelnuts for a crunchy finish.

For a twist, swap Nutella with peanut butter.
