Double Dark chocolate cream cheese muffins.

Here's the recipe:

2 8oz. pks. neufchatesl (or 1/3 reduced fat cream cheese)
1/4 cup xylitol and liquid stevia to taste
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. almond flavoring
1/4 cup (4TBS Special Dark chocolate cocoa powder)
1/4 cup sour cream (Daisy)
12 tsp. sugar free chocolate chips

Mix cheese, sweetener, eggs and flavorings with a mixer until almost completely blended. Stir in cocoa and sour cream with a hand whisk until no lumps remain.

Pour into 12 muffin pans lined with the papers and sprayed with non-stick spray (optional). Sprinkle 1 tsp. chips on each muffin and gently stir into batter. Bake at 350 for 18 minutes. Turn off oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes in the oven. Remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate and enjoy!

I nuked a small amount of the extra batter and quick chilled it in the freezer. I can't wait to taste them tomorrow after they've had a chance to mellow overnight.

I love cream cheese muffins...mine taste great, but they are not pretty to look at. Do you spray the inside of the muffin cups? ( I use the paper ones) A lot seems to stick to my muffin cups...

Becky - I buy the foil cupcake papers and nothing sticks!

metqa · 11-12-2009, 06:02 AM

I used to use the foil liners until I realized that they were melting into the cream cheese and I was eating bits of foil.

I use a silicon plastic muffin pan now.

I never had that happen with mine and I use them all the time when baking.
Mine are Reynold's Baker's Choice Foil Bake Cups. Maybe they are a little heavier. I use them for Cream Cheese Muffins and also Banana Nut or Pumpkin Muffins, which are more "cake-y".

I use the silicon muffin liners too!! And spray those!! Comes out in one fell swoop. NO sticking. I have heart shaped ones, Easter pastels....all different kinds of the silicone liners.

metqa · 11-13-2009, 05:16 AM

I had some cheap store brand foil liners. they probably weren't designed to handle heat AND a high fat content. I'll never understand why, but those things were full of holes after cooking cream cheese muffins. they werent as thick as heavy duty foil, I'll say that.

Oh, shaped siliocon muffin pans sound so cute!!

HappyGirl52 · 01-21-2010, 11:13 AM

Does anyone have a receipe using stevia? Thanks for any suggestions!

tkellough49 · 02-25-2010, 01:20 PM

tkellough49 · 02-25-2010, 01:21 PM

Actually you can fry these up in butter or oil and they taste just like pancakes. Put your low carb syrup on them and they are yummy!

AngieCakes · 02-26-2010, 09:31 AM

I have issues with converting the measurements from powder sweetner to liquid.
I have Torani sf vanilla syrup at home and no splenda. Pardon me if this has been addressed anywhere in this thread but can someone tweak this for me using the liquid sweetner?

Quote:

2 8oz. pks. philadelphia cream cheese
1/2 cup sweetener (I use spenda)
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla

I'd like to know just how much to add. Thank you!

Never mind, found the conversion on page 10!!

AngieCakes · 02-26-2010, 10:51 AM

I will!! I must admit, I tried something similar before in an 8x8 and just cut them into squares. I do have a muffin pan so I will try these. The only thing was that they turned out wet!! I think it's because of the liquid sweetner.

dollkey · 03-11-2010, 06:04 AM

Doesn't that look terrific? It looks almost like a thick orange cream cheese frosting? Mmm
