Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup coconut sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 0.333 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs, then add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
Step 4
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
Step 5
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine the coconut cream, the remaining egg, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth to create the cheesecake layer.
Step 7
Carefully pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter in the pan, gently spreading it across the top.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is set and a toothpick inserted into the brownie layer comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Step 10
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
