Made the brownies and they are good but quite spicy so cut back on cayenne if you don't like hot stuff. I used Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa Powder and a mix of prunes, dates, and dried cherries. I also subbed coconut milk for the almond milk and added about 1 Tbs of honey. Be sure to mix the dry ingredients first before adding the milk.0

LOL@ Helene.
I made these tonight,no idea yet how they taste but they look good so I thought I'd share. They are a recipe from Oxygen mag, but I didnt have enough cream cheese and wanted it to have a crust so I deccided to tweak it. (Oh, and also I dont think I have EVER made a recipe the way it is supposed to be made. Haha).
Crust:
2 cups kashi go lean crunch, pounded in a bag
2 T. coconut oil
Mix together and press into bottom of 8 inch pan, bake at 350 for 8-10 mins
Filling:
1 pkg. light cream cheese
10 oz. nonfat greek yogurt
3 T. white whole wheat flour (recipe called for coconut flour but I didnt have any)
1/4 c. shredded unsweetened coconut
juice of one lime
1/2 cup xylitol (I'm sure you could use honey, evaporated cane juice, stevia, etc, but it would change the calorie count)
5 egg whites
1 tsp. each of coconut extract and lime extract
1 scoop vanilla whey (I used MRM)
Mix together in bowl, pour over crust and bake at 350 for 40 minutes, check at 35 minutes. After cooled, put in fridge for 4 hours (or the freezer if you want to eat it faster =P)

I used Guinness instead of water (drank the leftovers ssshhh) and added in a cup of dark chocolate chips. The stats are with the added chips. SO yummy, rich, and moist!0 -
