Butterscotch Brownies GF

A gluten-free and refined sugar-free spin on one of my grandmother’s pantry-staple desserts. This recipe is so easy and seemingly magical since it requires such simple ingredients, none of which are butterscotch; However, they always impress with a chewy texture and flavor that lives up to their name.

This is hands down my favorite dessert and one of my favorite things to eat period. The creamy buttery brie, which is lightly sweetened with a coconut sugar crust, begs to be eaten with juicy fresh fruit and warm bread. It’s the perfect balance of flavors and textures in one bite. A wonderful addition to your next charcuterie board.

Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake

Cheese cake and pumpkin pie combines for this decadent holiday treat! The crust is made from my gluten free graham crackers keeping this entire dessert gluten free and refined sugar free. This cheesecake is several layers of flavor with a cheesecake layer, a pumpkin pie cheesecake layer and finished with a maple whipped topping. I recommend making this simple recipe the day before serving as it needs at least 8 hours of refrigeration time.
