Mint “Cheesecake” Brownies (Low Carb and Dairy Free)

March 11, 2013 By Karen Sorenson

Once of my favorite combinations is brownie and cheesecake.  Since I’m dairy free I’ve had to get creative with the cheesecake portion of my recipes.  I absolutely love using almonds (or cashews) to make “cream cheese.” It works perfectly in sweet dishes and I’m starting to experiment using it in savory dishes.  I know some of you are not dairy free so cream cheese should work in this recipe (though I didn’t try it). I wanted to whip up a St. Patrick’s Day dessert that had some green in it…festive, right?  Well I didn’t want to add a bunch of dye to the recipe so I decided to use a natural ingredient to add the green color without changing the taste of the brownies.  These were tested on a few people and I can assure you that you will not be able to taste the secret ingredient.

Can you guess what the secret ingredient is?
