Dessert: Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cupcakes

Recipe by deuteronomy3113 I am not normally a cupcake fan, but this is my favorite cupcake recipe! I have made it over and over and people love it.

Ingredients

1 (18.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix (such as Duncan Hines® Moist Deluxe®)
1 1/4 cups water
4 eggs, divided
1/2 cup oil
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
2/3 cup white sugar
3/4 teaspoon Mexican vanilla extract
3/4 cup miniature chocolate chips, or more to taste, divided
1 (16 ounce) container cream cheese frosting

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
Combine cake mix, water, 3 eggs, and oil together in a bowl using an electric mixer until batter is smooth, about 2 minutes. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.
Blend cream cheese, sugar, 1 egg, and vanilla extract together in a blender until cheesecake filling is smooth; stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Spoon about 1 tablespoon cheesecake filling into each cupcake.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool cupcakes on a wire rack.
Frost each cupcake with cream cheese frosting and sprinkle remaining chocolate chips over each cupcake.
