Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180C and spray a 15x15cm brownie tin lightly with cooking spray before lining it with non-stick baking parchment.

Step 2

In a medium-size mixing bowl combine the flour,  cocoa powder and salt.

Step 3

Melt the vegan butter in a medium size sauce pan over medium-low heat, add in the dark chocolate and gently stir until both butter and chocolate are melted and combined.

Step 4

Prepare your Aquafaba and combine it with the maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla extract and pour in the butter/chocolate mix.

Step 5

Slowly add the dry mix into the wet ingredients and gently stir to combine. Pour the batter into the brownie tin.

Step 6

Prepare the cream cheese topping by combining the ingredients with an electric mixer,  then gently add the cream cheese mix onto the brownie batter with a spoon. Using a knife, create the swirls on top of the brownies.

Step 7

Place the tin into the oven for 35-40 minutes or until baked.
