Behold my peanut butter cheesecake with a chocolate brownie recipe.    A winning combination of both cheesecake and brownie.

When baking a low carb and gluten free cheesecake you need to find a delicious alternative to the crushed biscuits that are used in the unhealthier versions.  I often used ground nuts for a crunch crumb base but had been thinking about using a brownie for a base.  Since peanut butter goes so well with chocolate it seemed the obvious choice for the cheesecake topping.

Before I reach for the mixing bowls and switch the oven on, I have an image in my mind how I want the recipe to work out.  This was one of those recipes that did not disappoint and made me grin as I held it lovingly in my hands. The peanut butter brownie cheesecake is a no bake cheesecake so you need to be patient.  I left the cheesecake in the fridge overnight, then decorated it with some melted chocolate as I waved it under the Chief Taster’s nose for admiration.

Peanut Butter Brownie Cheesecake

This peanut butter cheesecake with a brownie crust has gone right into the top 3 cheesecake recipes in our house.  The Chief Taster will always complain if the base is not thick enough on a cheesecake.  By using a brownie base, these moans were melted away.

I had plans of cutting this peanut butter cheesecake into slices and freezing it, as I thought it would be too much for us to eat over a couple of days.  Who was I kidding?  I forgot that cheesecake makes a delicious weekend breakfast and did not account for the Chief Taster bearing down upon the cheesecake with a fork in his hand and a glint in his eye.  Is eating with intent an offence?  My cheesecake would like to press charges.

Low Carb & Gluten Free

Although I normally estimate a cheesecake to be 8 slices, this will definitely be a 10-slice cheesecake due to the peanut butter cheesecake being fairly rich.  A small slice will be enough to delight your taste buds with the coconut flour chocolate brownie base being filling and satisfying.   Brownie and cheesecake are a winning combination and will definitely appear in another recipe later this year.

Ingredients
 
 

Brownie Base

  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 4 eggs

  • 1/2 cup erythritol or sugar sweetener
  • 1/2 cup butter softened, unsalted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Cheesecake Topping

  • 1.5 cups peanut butter smooth
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup erythritol or sugar sweetener

Instructions
 

Make the brownie base

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F degrees.
  • Beat the eggs and erythritol in a bowl until blended and light in colour.
  • Add the butter and mix until blended

Make the Cheesecake

  • In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and erythritol together until the cream cheese is smooth.

  • In another bowl, whip the cream until stiff.
  • Fold the cream into the peanut butter mixture.
  • Spoon on top of the brownie base then place in the fridge for at least 5 hours or overnight to set.

    Hi- I was looking to make this recipe, but am I supposed to use the powered or granulated erythritol? I see that you use it in both the brownie and the peanut butter topping.

      You can use either. I find powdered has less of a gritty texture.

    Do you know how many this would make in cupcakes tins and the amount time to cook the brownies like that?

      ooh - great idea! I would guess about 8 cupcakes and would estimate about 30 minutes baking time. Let me know how it works out! And what time to come round to sample them 😉

      Hi, yes you could but you would need to adjust the quantities.

    Sounds absolutely amazing! Question: step 2 says to beat the eggs and erythritol, then step 3 says to add the eggs. Which is correct?
