Ingredients:
- For the brownie layer:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- For the cheesecake layer:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For garnish:
- Powdered sugar optional
- Whipped cream optional
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350F 175C
Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly
Once melted, remove from heat and let cool slightly
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined
Stir in the pumpkin puree
Add the melted chocolate mixture to the pumpkin mixture and stir until smooth
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly
In another mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth
Add the egg, bourbon, and vanilla extract, and beat until creamy
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter and spread it out evenly
Using a knife or skewer, swirl the two batters together to create a marbled effect
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack
Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing into squares
Dust with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream, if desired
Enjoy
