LOW CARB BROWNIE CHEESECAKE

I think brownies are among the absolute cake classics. Well, actually, brownies are a classic in their own category. Inside nice gooey and moist – not to compare with a sponge cake. That’s exactly how we feel about cheesecake. There are so many different types of cheesecake – and each one is super delicious! From the New York Cheesecake to the AIP-suitable No Bake Triple Layer Cheesecake – we love them all!

• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• 1/3 cup (40 grams) all-purpose flour

CHEESECAKE LAYER:

• 16 ounces (2 packages, 455 grams) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 1 large egg

TOPPING:

ADD CHEESECAKE LAYER:

• With an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese, egg, sugar and vanilla until smooth.
• Spoon over brownie bottoms, filling cups just over 3/4 cup full.

• Let cups cool completely, about 1 hour at room temperature or chilled in the fridge for 30 minutes.
