Vegan Recipe of the Month -

Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Brownies

Deluxe Cocoa Brownies

 85g (1/4 packet) firm silken tofu
 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
 1/2 cup canola oil
 1 cup sugar
 2 teaspoons vanilla
 1 cup flour
 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
 1 tbsp cornstarch
 1/2 tsp baking powder
 1/2 tsp salt
 

 

Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Topping:
 8 oz. plain vegan cream cheese, softened
 ½ cup of sugar
 2 tbsp arrowroot powder
 1 tbsp. all purpose flour
 1 ½ tsp vanilla
 2/3 cup chocolate chips (use mini if available)

 
 

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F). Line an 8 x 8-inch brownie pan with parchment paper; it should cover the bottom as well as curve up and cover the sides.
 

2. Puree the tofu, non-dairy milk, and oil (it should be at room temperature!) in a blender or food processor until smooth and fluffy. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides to make sure you get everything.
 

3. Transfer the tofu mixture to a mixing bowl. Use a fork to vigorously mix in the sugar. Add vanilla.
 

4. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Use a spatula to fold and mix batter until smooth. Transfer the batter to the pan and smooth out the top. It's okay if the batter doesn't sink all the way into the sides and edges of pan, as it will spread during baking.

 

5. For the Topping: in a large mixing bowl, using electric beaters, cream together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the arrowroot powder, flour and vanilla and beat until smooth. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the entire mixture over the uncooked brownie batter, smoothing the top evenly. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.

 

6.Bake brownies for 30 to 32 minutes, remove the pan from the oven, and let the brownies cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
