Recipe - Flourless Cheesecake Brownies

INGREDIENTS:
  • Nonstick cooking spray 
  • 2 large eggs 
  • 3/4 cup finely ground almond meal or flour 
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt 
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 
  • 1/4 cup water 
  • 1/2 cup raw honey 
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (divided) 
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips 
  • 6 ounces 1/3 less fat cream cheese (softened) 
  • 2 tablespoons sugar 
DIRECTIONS: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spray a nonstick 9 x 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray and line with two strips of parchment 8 inches wide and long enough to leave a 2-inch overhang on all sides. In a medium bowl, whisk 1 large whole egg with 1 egg yolk (separate the whites and reserve, set aside). Add 1⁄4 cup water, the honey, and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla and stir with the spatula until combined. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond meal, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the dry mixture and mix well with a spatula. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Soften the package of cream cheese in the microwave, mix in sugar, reserved egg white and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla. Pour over the brownie mix and spread over the top with a spatula, marbleize the with a toothpick. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into 12 bars.
