RECIPE: Gluten Free Cheesecake Brownies (Dairy Free)

Gluten Free Cheesecake Brownies have got to be one of the greatest creations. My recipe is also Dairy Free & uses a Brownie Mix from Delicious Alchemy. However I will definitely be making this again in the future without the brownie mix as I make a pretty mean gluten / dairy free chocolate brownie from scratch. (You can make this recipe using a brownie mix too or by making your own brownies from a recipe!)

Baked perfectly, gluten free & dairy free cheesecake brownie!

Ever since I visited Cloud 9 in Brighton for the very first time I have had a huge love of Cheesecake Brownie. They do the most amazing gluten free cheesecake brownies and I have to say they are heavenly. These days I don’t get down to Brighton quite as much as I used to (although I will be there for a few days in May!), and so I decided to go about recreating my own.

This being the very first time I have tried to create it means I will definitely make some improvements over time even if Mark says it needs none as he loves my gluten free cheesecake brownies as they are. I guess that is an important thing about my gluten free cheesecake brownies recipe… it is also entirely DAIRY FREE! 

The base in this recipe is made using Delicious Alchemy’s Gluten & Dairy Free Brownie Mix. It is a tasty mix that is really simple to put together. I thought it was a perfect thing to use when I was going to be making more than just standard brownies. In the future I will probably give making my own gluten free brownie base from scratch a go… I haven’t entirely perfected my best recipe for that at the moment; but Delicious Alchemy’s Brownie Mix is pretty amazing. As I mentioned earlier you could also use the Delicious Alchemy Brownie Mix if you wish but these gluten free cheesecake brownies would also work perfectly if you used your own brownie mixture as a base & then placed the cheesecake topping on top of it.

Enjoy a slice with dairy free ice cream!

I have never attempted to make a dairy free cheesecake topping before. I spent a lot of time looking into what would work best. I found an amazing dairy free alternative in Tofutti’s Creamy Smooth ‘Soya Alternative to Cream Cheese’, it really does taste so similar to cream cheese and when you mix it up with the other cheesecake ingredients nobody would have any idea it wasn’t real cream cheese. I’d highly recommend it alongside plenty of other dairy free Tofutti cheeses, they do a real wide selection. The cheesecake topping is fairly runny when you pour it onto the brownie base. However, once it is placed in the oven to bake and set that changes very quickly!

As you can see from the recipe I swirl a little ‘Nutritious Nutella‘ into my gluten free cheesecake brownies  topping. This is a recipe I found out about from Deliciously Ella. It is only made of 3 ingredients plus water & literally tastes amazing. We eat it on toast, pancakes & off the spoon. It works great in swirled within the cheesecake topping of the gluten free cheesecake brownies too. Of course you might not want to spend so much time making this for just a few swirls (though I recommend you do as you will never look back after consuming it!), so you could always use a shop bought dairy free chocolate spread instead.

I decided to bake the gluten free cheesecake brownies in a round loose bottomed tin. I wanted it to look like an actual cheesecake where you can cut slices. This worked really well and I would recommend you doing it like this as well It is definitely a perfect dessert or a cheeky afternoon snack with friends.

Anyway, enough waffle here is my tasty recipe for gluten free cheesecake brownies… DAIRY FREE TOO

Ingredients

1. - Brownie Mix (I use Delicious Alchemy Brownie Mix but you could use another or make your own Gluten / Dairy Free Brownies from scratch)
2. - 100g Dairy Free Margarine, melted (for the Brownie Mix)
3. - 2 Eggs (for the Brownie Mix)
4. - 225g Dairy Free Cream Cheese (I use Tofutti)
5. - 60g Sugar
6. - 1 Egg
7. - 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
8. - 2 Tbsp Dairy Free Chocolate Spread (I make my own using Deliciously Ella"s "Nutritious Nutella" recipe)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 160 degrees celsius.
2. Grease a baking tin, or like I did a loose bottomed round tin.
3. Firstly make your brownies.
4. For me - with my mix this meant pouring the mix into a bowl and adding the melted dairy free margarine, stirring to form an almost batter. Beat the eggs and stir them into the mixture thoroughly. Pour the mixture into your greased tin ready for baking.
5. Next, make the cheesecake topping!
6. Use an electric mixer to beat the Tofutti until smooth and creamy.
7. Next, beat in the sugar and vanilla extract for about a minute.
8. Beat in 1 egg to the mixture until fully blended.
9. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the top of the brownie mixture in the baking tin.
10. Make sure you chocolate spread is fairly soft and swirl a few few splurges of it around your mix. (I love the Nutritious Nutella recipe from Deliciously Ella & would highly recommend it.. healthy nutella made out of 3 ingredients!)
11. Place in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the top has fully set.
12. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
13. If you are using a loose bottomed tin remove from tin by pushing it up away from the sides, if not gently ease it out.
14. Cut a slice whenever you fancy it & enjoy!

Notes

1. We often have a slice with a scoop of vanilla soy ice cream but really it is perfect on it"s own too!

RECIPE: Gluten Free Cheesecake Brownies (Dairy Free)

RECIPE: Gluten Free Singapore Noodles (Dairy Free / Onion Free)

Singapore Noodles is one of the nations takeaway favourites. My Gluten Free Singapore Noodles recipe allows everyone to enjoy it at home – plus it’s so simple & quick to make! (It’s also Onion Free – Bonus!)

Singapore Noodles has always been one of my favourite dishes at Chinese restaurants and for takeaway. I can’t deny that I miss eating a big portion of Chow Mein when we have takeaway with big thick egg noodles, but I have always enjoyed the slight curried spicy flavours that so often come in a good Singapore Noodle dish. Gluten Free Singapore Noodles are not uncommon in some Chinese restaurants, though in my opinion  and experience it can often be very risky even ordering them. Most Singapore Noodles are cooked with a small amount of soy sauce & the char siu pork is not gluten free either.

For me, a night of cooking my own tasty Gluten Free Singapore Noodles that I know are safe to consume and are very delicious is so much better than worrying about the consequences of potentially being glutened in a restaurant. This dish is incredibly quick to make as well, as noodle dishes always are!

This Gluten Free Singapore Noodles recipe is also free from onions. As you may or may not know, onions highly disagree with me and I have a zero tolerance with onions – if they are on my plate I won’t eat it… the discomfort onions put me in is just not worth it. I honestly no longer miss onions in dishes, and a dish like this has so much flavour it really doesn’t need to contain onions.

Equally, you will see that the only vegetable in this recipe is carrot. I have a lot of issues digesting vegetables, due to my IBS, especially green veg, so I don’t tend to put them in my food. However if you would like to, you could easily add in some peppers, tender stem broccoli or mange tout and it would work great.

Sometimes Mark and I make these Gluten Free Singapore Noodles in a smaller quantity as part of our very own Gluten Free & Dairy Free home made Chinese takeaway! (This is one of my favourite dinners!) We will make Gluten Free prawn toast, fried rice, satay skewers, marinated chicken wings, breaded sweet & sour and my personal favourite Honey (Agave) Chicken with Cashew Nuts – click her for my recipe. Gluten Free Singapore Noodles goes perfectly with all of these dishes!

Anyway, back to today’s dish the Gluten Free Singapore Noodles… here it is!

Ingredients

1. 1 carrot sliced
2. 300g chicken breast chopped
3. raw prawns (deveined & butterflied ideally - you can have as many or as few as you like!)
4. 1 slice of ham chopped (this is instead of a char siu pork & isn"t necessary if you don"t want it!)
5. 2 tsp turmeric
6. 2 tbsp gluten free soy sauce
7. 2 tbsp gluten free oyster sauce (you could use a fish sauce or like we do, the Blue Dragon Oyster & Spring Onion Stir Fry Sauce - which is gluten free)
8. 1 tbsp rice vinegar
9. a dash of sesame oil (a dash is an 1/8 tsp)
10. pinch of chilli flakes (depends on how hot you want it!)
11. 1 egg
12. 1 tsp minced ginger
13. 2 tsp mild curry powder
14. rice noodles (we use around 350g - you can buy fresh or dried but if dry you will need to soften them first)

Instructions

1. Heat a wok with a small amount of oil
2. Add the minced ginger & sliced carrots and fry until slightly softened (softer veg is easier for me to digest!)
3. Add your chicken & turmeric, make sure the turmeric is mixed in and coats the contents of the wok
4. When the chicken is nearly cooked, add your raw prawns (these don"t take long to cook and will do so whilst you are doing the rest of the steps)
5. Add your soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil & chilli flakes.
6. Then add your cooked rice noodles and curry powder, again make sure everything is thoroughly mixed and coated.
7. Make a gap within your noodles and crack an egg into the centre of the wok, allow this to fry on one side before mixing it into the noodles.
8. If you wish to, you can add the chopped up ham at the last moment. Allow it to heat through.
9. Serve up & enjoy!

Notes

1. If you wish, you could add a variety of different vegetables to this dish. For instance, peppers, tender stem broccoli and mange tout would all work perfectly and give the dish some great colour!
2. You could also add some shrimps into the dish to give it that really strong fishy flavour if you like!
