INSTRUCTIONSFOR BROWNIE1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. In small bowl, melt 1/2 cup Butter and two 1-oz. bricks of Chocolate together in microwave in 30 second increments. Whisk until smooth.
2. In separate small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup Coconut Flour, 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder and pinch of Salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat the 3 Eggs, 3/4 cup Granulated Swerve and 1 tsp. Vanilla until smooth. Beat in Coconut Flour mixture, then Butter/Chocolate mixture until smooth; then, stir in Pecans.
4. Spread mixture evenly over bottom of 13”x9” Copper Chef pan (or other buttered pan or buttered 9” Springform pan – Copper Chef does not need buttering). This recipe is very rich and sweet-tasting, so it is much easier to cut into smaller, more equal pieces from the rectangular pan.)
5. Bake 12 to 18 minutes until set around edges but still soft in the center. Let cool 15 to 20 minutes on wire rack. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
FOR CHEESECAKE6. In a large bowl, soften four 8-oz packages of Cream Cheese in microwave for 20 seconds, or let soften on counter. Then, using electric mixer, beat until smooth.
7. Beat in the 4 eggs, 1 cup Confectioners Swerve, 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream, and 1 tsp. Vanilla until well combined.
8. Pour filling over cooled Brownie crust and bake 35 to 45 minutes, until edges are set and center just barely jiggles. Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack. Place in refrigerator for 2-3 hours before cutting and serving.
