Brownie Bottomed Cheesecake

Brownie Bottomed Cheesecake – the most outrageous and glorious gluten free vegan cheesecake we make! Rich brownie base, topped with a traditional New York Cheesecake.

Gluten Free Vegan Cheesecake

For my birthday, Jason brought home tasty cupcakes from one of our favorite vegan/gluten free bakeries.

I also had an amazing dessert with my birthday dinner, which I still need to tell you all about. Soon.

Oh, and then I made cupcakes for my birthday party with the family.

Even with all the desserts, I still wanted to make a birthday cake. This year I combined two of my all time favorite desserts – brownies and cheesecake – into one glorious and decadent treat.

Jason describes this as ‘tangy, not too sweet’ which is how we both love cheesecake. The brownie base makes up for the classic not too sweet cake, though. Perfect.
