Fudgey Gluten-Free Cheesecake Brownies

chocolate chips, melted

coconut sugar

agave nectar

eggs egg

vanilla

almond flour

cocoa powder

salt

(8 oz) package cream cheese, room temperature

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate, coconut sugar, agave, eggs and egg yolk, and vanilla. 

Once smooth, add the almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt. 

In a separate, medium bowl, use a clean whisk to cream together the cream cheese, agave, egg, and vanilla until smooth. 

Line an 8&#215;8 square pan with parchment paper so that it is draped over two sides. 

Pour ⅔ of the brownie batter into the pan and use a rubber spatula to spread it into the edges and corners. 

Pour the cheesecake batter on top of the brownie layer and spread it out. 

Finally, scoop the remaining brownie batter on top of the cheesecake layer, putting them in little dollops across the top.

Use a toothpick or chopstick to create swirls in the brownie dollops and cheesecake layer. 

Allow to cool for 15 minutes before cutting into them.

So easy to make that you&#x27;ll feel like you are cheating! Enjoy the rich chocolate brownie bottom layer topped with a creamy and sweet cheesecake filling. Use a brownie mix to save on time!
