Flourless Cheesecake Brownies

Iris Warren

Report

These homemade, cheesecake brownies are SO good and they are gluten-free and flourless by using almond meal in place of wheat flour, then swirled with a cheesecake topping!

Add 1⁄4 cup water, the honey, and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla and stir with the spatula until combined.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond meal, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda.
Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the dry mixture and mix well with a spatula. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Soften the package of cream cheese in the microwave, mix in sugar, reserved egg white and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Pour over the brownie mix and spread over the top with a spatula, marbelize the with a toothpick.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
