Ingredients

  • Brownie Layer:
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 cup Coconut Sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons Coconut Oil, Melted
  • 4 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch of Salt
  • Cheesecake Layer:
  • 8 Ounces Cream Cheese, Room Temperature
  • 1/3 Cup Cream
  • 1/3 Cup Sour Cream
  • 1/3 Cup Plus 2 Tablespoons Coconut Sugar
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Vanilla
  • 2 Eggs, Room Temperature

Preparation

Step 1

Brownie Layer:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix dry ingredients together. Add eggs one at a time until combined. Then Add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract. Mix well and pour into a greased 8×8 inch pan. Bake brownies for 15-20 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted into the middle of the brownies comes out clean.

Cheesecake Layer:
Beat all the ingredients together until smooth. It is important that the cream cheese is room temp or it will chunk up. You can use a stick blender to smooth out the mixture if your cream cheese isn’t soft enough. Pour cheesecake mix over baked and slightly cooled brownie layer. Return to the oven and bake 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is lightly brown. Allow to cool for several hours before serving. Cut into squares and serve.
