Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 24 cupcakes

Ingredients
  

The base
  • 17 pc cocoa cookies
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp espresso
The filling
  • 100 g milk chocolate
  • 2 tbsp espresso
  • 340 g cream cheese
  • 200 g condensed milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg white
The top
  • whipped cream
  • cocoa
  • chocolate-covered coffee beans

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C and prepare 24 cupcake cups. Crush the cookies and mix with 2 tbsp melted butter and 2 tbsp espresso. Put one tablespoon of the cookie mixture into the bottom of each cup and bake the bases for 5 minutes.
  2. For the filling, melt the chocolate in a water bath and mix with hot espresso. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until soft and add the condensed milk. Fold in the chocolate-coffee mixture until smooth, then add the eggs and lightly whip until smooth. Fill the cups ¾ full and bake for 15 minutes.
  3. Don't worry if the top cracks slightly — it just means they're ready. Take them out and let cool completely.
  4. Right before serving, whip some cream and pipe it on top, add chocolate-covered coffee beans and lightly dust with cocoa. Enjoy with coffee!
