Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Layer:

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Cheesecake Layer:

8 oz cream cheese, softened (or vegan cream cheese)

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for a tangy flavor)

For the Topping:

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Brownie Layer:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix until well blended.

      - In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and dark chocolate chips until smooth.

        - Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a rich, thick brownie batter forms.

          - Line a baking dish (8x8 inches recommended) with parchment paper and spread the brownie mixture evenly in the bottom, pressing down firmly. Place it in the freezer while you make the cheesecake layer.

            Make the Cheesecake Layer:

              - In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

                - Add the powdered sugar, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using). Continue to beat until fully combined and fluffy.

                  Assemble the Bites:

                    - Remove the brownie base from the freezer and spread the cheesecake layer evenly over the brownie layer. Use a spatula to smooth the top.

                      - Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips over the cheesecake layer and gently press them in.

                        Chill and Cut:

                          - Cover the dish with plastic wrap and return it to the freezer for at least 4 hours or until completely firm.

                            - Once set, lift the cheesecake out of the dish using the parchment paper. Cut into small bites or squares, about 1-inch in size.

                              Serve:

                                - Arrange on a platter and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Enjoy your delicious No-Bake Brownie Cheesecake Bites chilled!
