Equipment

  • 1 9x13" glass baking dish
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 2 wooden spoons
  • 1 electric mixer
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 nut chopper if nuts are not previously chopped

Ingredients
  

CHEESECAKE:

  • 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese softened
  • 5 tbsp. unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup gluten free all-purpose flour I used pillsbury
  • 1 tsp. real vanilla extract
  • 1 cup coconut

BROWNIE:

  • 1 box gluten free fudge brownie mix
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp. water (depending on the mix – some mixes have more ounces so you need more water)
  • 1/3 cup canola oil or use coconut oil or avocado oil
  • 1 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped (measure after chopping)
  • 12 oz. bag miniature chocolate chips

Instructions
 

CHEESECAKE:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, mix cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer.
  • Add granulated sugar, eggs, flour and vanilla.
  • Stir in coconut.
  • Set aside.

BROWNIE:

  • Mix brownie mix, egg, water and oil in a large mixing bowl with a wooden spoon.
  • Stir in nuts and chocolate chips.
  • The dough will be thick.
  • Grease a 9x13” baking dish.
  • Spread half of the cream cheese mixture in bottom of baking dish.
  • Spread out to cover surface of pan.
  • Then spread half of the brownie mixture over top of the cream cheese mixture.
  • It won’t spread evenly, but you can dollop it onto the mixture and move it around slightly with a knife to cover the surface the best you can.
  • Pour and spread remaining cream cheese mixture over top of brownie layer, and then add remaining brownie mix.
  • Using a wooden spoon, swirl through all layers.
  • Don’t overdo it, but make sure you swirl the batter in 2 or 3 inch swirls throughout the pan.
  • Bake at 350° for about 45-50 minutes.
  • Be sure mixture is set in the middle.
  • Test with a toothpick.
  • Cook additional 5 or 10 minutes if necessary, depending on the heat of your oven.

Notes

NOTE: I usually have to cook this mixture about 55 minutes before it’s set in the middle.
 
NOTE: These brownies are easier to cut if you refrigerate or freeze them about an hour before cutting.
