Light and creamy cheesecake swirled together with a double dose of decadent chocolate – talk about yummy. Maple Cheesecake Brownies are one tempting treat.

Maple Cheesecake Brownies are the perfect blend of light and creamy cheesecake with rich, flavour-bursting chocolate.

My most popular post to date is Healthy Blueberry Cheesecake. This cheesecake is so yummy (and healthy), I could eat it every day. Seriously, I could eat it every day. Since I’m always looking for fun ways to jazz up my favourite treats, I decided to give this cheesecake an extra pop of flavour. A little choco-flavour. Combine cheesecake with explosively chocolateyΒ Two Bite BrowniesΒ batter, throw in a little maple syrup and you have a cheesy-chocolatey, heavenly treat.

In the pictures above, you can see how the cheesecake and brownie swirl together, making a truly flavourful treat. At first bite, you taste an airy maple-sweetened cheesecake. Then you’re hit by a double dose of chocolate flavour – rich chocolate batter combined with ooey gooeyΒ chocolate chips.

TheseΒ Maple Cheesecake Brownies may taste like a rich, heavenly treat, but they’re low in refined sugar and low in fat.Β I’ve substituted maple syrup for most of theΒ brown sugar in this recipe. Maple syrup is a healthier sugar, it’s lower in calories and has less sugar per gram than refined sugars. Also, instead of being loaded with cream, this dessertΒ is given its creamy texture by combining milk, yogurt, and cottage cheese. Best of all, this treat is unbelievably delicious.
