HOW TO MAKE IT :
Instructions
Brownie:
- In a bowl, add all the dry ingredients under Brownie and mix well. Heat non dairy milk and maple syrup until hot (in pan or microwave). Whisk in the dark chocolate and flax seed meal until the chocolate melts. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Add the wet mixture into dry and mix to combine. Mix in 1/4 cup chocolate chips into the batter. Drop the batter onto prepared parchment lined pan. Spread it using a spatula to a level it. Reserve a Tablespoon of the batter to make swirls on top(optional).
Cheesecake:
- Lightly squeeze the Tofu to remove excess water and add to blender. Blend all the cheese cake ingredients in a blender until smooth. Taste and adjust/add lemon juice and salt to preferred tang/cream cheese-y taste. Drop the blended batter onto brownie batter. Spread evenly with a spatula. (To make soy-free cheesecake layer, use the cashew filling from these cheesecakes.
- If making swirls on top, add 2 tsps non dairy milk to the reserved brownie batter (the batter is quite thick). Mix well and drop spoon fulls on top. Swirl the brownie batter into the cheesecake batter with a knife. If using a regular metal pan, place the pan on a baking sheet during baking so the bottom of the brownie does not get hard/overbaked.
- Bake at preheated 350 degrees F / 180ºc for 40 to 45 minutes or until the center is set and the edges of the cheesecake start to get golden. Cool completely and slice. Refrigerate for half an hour before slicing for best results.
- Sprinkle sweetened cocoa powder on top. You can also soak the brownie layer in a little espresso + sugar + rum/liquor of choice.
- Notes: Add rum extract to the brownie batter or cheesecake batter if you have some. To make just the Glutenfree brownies, double the recipe, add 1/4 cup chocolate chips to the batter. Add more oat flour if needed and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick from an inch from the edge comes out almost clean.
