3. Place in freezer whilst making cheesecake topping.

2. Once smooth, add coconut oil in and blend on high again till coconut oil is thoroughly combined with the mixture.
3. Spread mixture over brownie base and return the loaf tin to the freezer. Let freeze for 6-8 hours, or until solid.
4. Once ready, pull brownie out of the tin and drizzle with chocolate coating. Cut into squares and enjoy!

NOTES:- Keep your brownies frozen. Remove from the freezer 10 mins prior to consuming. (I actually like them right out of the freezer, but I’m weird!)
