# Instructions:
01 -
Turn on the oven at 350°F. Lightly grease each cup of a mini cheesecake tray.
02 -
Melt butter and chocolate over low heat until smooth. Beat together sugar and eggs. Combine dry ingredients until mixed. Let melted chocolate cool slightly, then stir into egg mixture and slowly blend in the dry mix.
03 -
Spoon around 2 tablespoons of brownie batter into each cup. Bake for 12 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness. Set aside to cool before making the next layer. Lower oven temperature to 325°F.
04 -
Blend sour cream and cream cheese until creamy. Add salt, vanilla, and sugar, blending well. Stir in eggs one at a time. Dissolve the espresso in water, then mix it into the batter along with Baileys and cinnamon.
05 -
Spread about 2 tablespoons of cheesecake filling on each brownie base. Bake for 12 minutes. Once done, switch the oven off but leave the cheesecakes inside for 10 minutes with the door closed.
06 -
Allow cheesecakes to cool fully on the counter, then chill them in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
07 -
Warm the cream just before it boils. Pour it over chopped chocolate, leave it untouched for 10 minutes, then stir until glossy.
08 -
Carefully remove cheesecakes from the tray. Add ½ teaspoon ganache on each and garnish with grated chocolate. Serve right away or chill to let the ganache set.
