Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 3
Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar together in a small bowl. Press 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each prepared cup.
Step 4
Measure 1/2 cup chocolate chips and set aside for topping. Evenly distribute the remaining chips among the cups, sprinkling them over the crust layer.
Step 5
Beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, egg, cocoa powder, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the cream cheese mixture into each cup. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips over top.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until just set, 17 to 23 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack, 15 to 30 minutes.
