    the chocolate dough is very good, it is very moisture and fluffy....but let it stay just the 20 min. in the oven....no more. Doesn't need the creamcheesse filling for my taste....next time I will put more ganache inside instead of cheese

    I thought this cupcake was so good and rich- I loved it!!! I can't imagine why some people gave it bad reviews as far as taste, but I guess may have been using wrong type of ingredients as far as what the recipe called for- or not blended all the way. I fell a little short of the cream cheese filling as some others did on here, so I would recommend making a bit more of it. Someone on here said the ganache was runny- ganache is SUPPOSED to be that way. If you ever had a molten lava cake, that is what the center of it is. It is not supposed to be like frosting at all. I am definitely making these again!

    Incredibly delicious, super easy, and so much fun! I added a raspberry in the middle, as well, and it was great! I love how you can make the cupcakes with cracked tops and without (filled one of the muffin tins with water. Wonderful. Thank you!

    To shave a few minutes off of the prep time, I used a cake mix instead and the results were delightful! These were a very easy treat that looked beautiful and like I'd spent much more time on them than I actually did.

    The only thing I would reccomend is to double the amount of cheesecake mixture- it made the batter go much further. I ended up with about 20 cupcakes!

    I just made these, and I was soooo pleasantly surprised that the ganache tasted like my beloved grandmother's frosting. I used special dark chocolate cocoa in the mix, and for the frosting I used 60% cocoa chocolate chips. As bittersweet chocolate is my favorite kind, these were perfect. The cheesecake centers made these different, and I really loved them. Thanks for a wondeful taste of home. My grandmother may be gone for the past 30 years, but she was there in the kitchen last night. I can't thank Mary Nolan enough.

    I followed this recipe to a tee, and now wish I had read the comments of others who altered it. The batter tasted great and appeared to have a nice consistency, but the finished product was dry and tasteless. However, ganache frosting was good. Perhaps the recipe is missing something? Oil? Instructions could be more specific re: stirring, mixing, beating the eggs or not, etc. I'm kicking myself for volunteering to bring treats to work today because I had to throw everything out and will have to stop to buy something.

    I thouhgt these would be somewhere along the lines of Barefoot Contessa's carrot cake or coconut cupcakes... but they aren't. I couldn't taste the cream cheese filling at all, and the ganache is too runny for my taste.

    these cupcakes are fabulous - I even screwed up the recipe the first time I made them and they still came out great. I highly recommend them.

    I made these cupcakes today for my boyfriend's birthday, and they're great! It's just like having a little cheesecake brownie in a cup. The recipe was easy to follow, and very delicious. I found that the recipe fell a little short of 12 (especially where the cream cheese filling was concerned, so with the second batch I added an additional egg to the batter and a little extra milk, and added an extra two ounces of cream cheese. Great recipe!
