- 1/2 cup1/2 cup1/2 cup White Baking Chips
- Sprinkles, optional, for decorating
Process
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Line an 8 inch x 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, then lightly grease with butter or coconut oil.
- In a small saucepan, combine diced strawberries, water, and 1 TB sugar. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat, then set heat to medium-low, then allow to simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
- Carefully drain the strawberries but save the liquid and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine strawberries, softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup reserved strawberry liquid, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tbsp vanilla, salt, lemon juice, 2 egg whites, and cassava flour.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 egg yolks + 1 egg and 1 tbsp vanilla.
- While continuing to whisk, slowly pour in melted butter a little at a time (so as to not cook the eggs), and do the same with 1/4 cup reserved strawberry liquid, and whisk to combine.
- Slowly add brownie mix to the bowl and stir to combine until well incorporated.
- Stir in semisweet and white chocolate chips.
- Layer half of the brownie mix into the baking pan.
- Add 1 cup of the strawberry cheesecake mixture on top (add in small amounts all around the pan so it's evenly spread out, then use a spatula to lightly spread it around so it covers as much of the brownie layer as possible).
- Add the rest of the brownie mix on top, using the same method to try to keep it as even a layer as possible.
- Add 1 more cup of the strawberry cheesecake mixture on top, then use a butter knife to create swirls. Don't worry if it looks messy--it'll all come together in the oven!
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool and set completely, then either cut into squares or use a cookie cutter to cut out fun shapes! Decorate with sprinkles if desired.
- Store in the refrigerator. These will keep for 5 days in the fridge (if they even last that long!).

Notes
You'll have about 1 cup of the cheesecake mixture left after using it on the brownies. You can use it to make the creamiest strawberry cheesecake: simply grab 2 6-inch oven-safe ramekins and grease with butter or coconut oil, crush up some graham crackers and mix with 1 tbsp butter or coconut oil & divide between ramekins and press down fully until even and packed at the bottom; then divide the cheesecake mixture between the two ramekins. Place them in a pan that has about 1-2 inches of water in it, then bake along with the brownies and remove at the same time. Cool completely before placing in the fridge (to avoid getting a crack on top, they have to cool gradually), then carefully remove from the ramekins for an easy little cheesecake bonus for you to enjoy for your hard work! // Save the leftover strawberry syrup and use in cocktails or mocktails, or drizzle over ice cream.
