Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F.
Prepare a baking dish by spraying it with nonstick baking or cooking spray.
We'll start with the topping. In a large bowl, using an eclectic mixer, beat the dairy free cream cheese and add in the sugar. Beat until smooth.
Add in the vanilla extract and egg, beat until smooth then place bowl to the side.
Moving on to the brownies. Melt dairy free butter in 30-second intervals in the microwave in a microwave safe medium bowl.
Once melted add in the dairy free cocoa powder and mix.
Add vanilla, salt and eggs and stir.
Now add in the rest of the dry ingredients- the flour and mix until just combined. Do NOT overmix. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything gets incorporated.
Transfer the brownie mix to the prepared baking dish and smooth out.
Add on the dairy free cheesecake mixture layer.
Add strawberry pie filling as the top layer and smooth out.
Use a toothpick, skewer or knife to swirl the strawberry filling and cream cheese layer together.
Place in oven to bake for 45-50 minutes or until the cheesecake parts start to turn a golden brown.
Remove brownies from the oven and let them cool at room temperature for 45 minutes to an our or until you can touch the cooled brownies and they're no longer hot.
Once they've cooled you can place them in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours so everything sets.
