This pumpkin cheesecake brownie has the warmth of pumpkin spices in a chocolate fudgy brownie. Baked with coconut flour, this is a delicious low carb and gluten free treat.
Together cheesecake and brownie make a moist and delicious dessert that is much better the next day if you can wait that long.
Once the pumpkin cheesecake brownie mixture has set and the pumpkin flavours developed you will be face down in a plate of brownies and growling like a tigress if anyone approaches you for one.

Recipe Tips
These brownies are better the next day once completely cooled and the brownie will be more fudge like. Be patient!
For those of you who don't like coconut flour this recipe can easily be adapted with almond flour. Use our almond flour brownie recipe and add the pumpkin cheesecake on top.
The pumpkin cheesecake mixture does not have to be swirled into the chocolate brownie mixture but gently spread on top to make an even layer.
