Ingredients

Brownies

  • 1/2 cup avocado oil
  • 2 large organic, pasture-raised eggs
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 2/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup cassava flour
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder
  • 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp. baking powder, corn-free

Pumpkin Cheesecake

  • 4 oz. dairy-free creamcheese room temperature
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 large organic, pasture-raised egg
  • 3/4 cup organic pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup dairy-free yogurt
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp. ground clove

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Oil a 9" well-seasoned cast iron skillet with coconut oil. Make sure you get the sides and the bottom.
  • Combine all the brownie ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir well. Spread 3/4 of the mixture into the skillet.
  • In another large mixing bowl, combine all of the pumpkin creamcheese ingredients. Use a hand mixer to beat all the ingredients until they are combined. This step can also be done in a food process or blender.
  • Pour the pumpkin creamcheese mixture onto the brownie layer in the skillet. Place blobs of the remaining brownie batter on top of the pumpkin creamcheese layer.
  • Use a pairing knife to swirl the brownie batter blobs into the pumpkin creamcheese. Alternatively, you can do what I did and use a spoon to gently combine the two layers until you are satisfied.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes. The center should not jiggle when you gently shake the skillet. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Cool completely before cutting if you want neat looking slices. Make sure the brownies are cool before covering and storing.
