Individual Flourless Chocolate Cheesecakes

Similar in concept to a cheesecake brownie, but the base is intense flourless chocolate cake--yes please.  Halved this and it made 9 cupcake-sized individual guys.  Delish, and perfect to satisfy the intense chocolate craving I was having!  The recipe is for a cake but really the muffin size was great.

Notes: The chocolate batter is really a mousse, and it starts to set fairly quickly after mixing, so if you want it to be swirled with the cheesecake you have to work fast (especially if doing this cupcake version).  But really I preferred the ones with the cheesecake just dropped in the middle, no swirling--the layers are more distinct, and you get a bigger bite of cheesecake with it.  Baked about 22 minutes, then cooled and chilled.  Make sure to butter (and probably flour/dust with cocoa) the muffin cups if you want them to come out perfectly.  I wouldn't use cupcake wrappers because I have a feeling these would stick to them pretty hardcore.
