Steps

45 mins

1

Preheat oven to 425°F. (I know this seems high, but this is how you get high-topped cupcakes)
2

For the filling: Beat cream cheese and egg in a medium bowl until it's smooth and creamy. Slowly add the sugar and salt. Beat on low speed or stir until mixed in well. Add chocolate chips and stir. Set aside.
3

For the chocolate batter: In another medium bowl combine dry ingredients and mix well.
4

Gradually add the butter, water, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well. (using an electric mixer helps everything get mixed well)
5

Line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners, and evenly distribute the chocolate batter into all of them.
6

Then evenly distribute the cheese filling on top of the chocolate batter.
7

Bake 6-9 minutes at 425°F first. The cupcakes should be about 1/4-1/2 inch above the paper liner. That’s the sign the heat can be turned down.
8

Reduce the heat to 350ºF (DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR TO DROP THE TEMP.) and bake for another 15-20 minutes more or until a toothpick inserted comes out barely clean.
9

Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack (important) to cool completely.
10

Enjoy!

I live in Toronto, Canada with my husband and three beautiful cats...but no kids.Recently, I started on the ketogenic diet, so I had to remove many of my favorites, which contained loads of carbs and sugar. Before I got on this diet, I posted some of my own recipes that are not Keto friendly, so I cannot make them anymore, but I will not remove them from here. I'll leave them for others to see and try.
