Guilt free Keto Cheesecake Brownies

Before starting Keto, I was never much of a dessert guy. I have found that part of staying on keto is discovering a new balance between savory and sweet.

That balance is probably brought more into focus with the removal of all things bread.

These brownies are always a hit! Even with my non-keto friends. The flavor is excellent, the texture is great – just make sure you let them set up long enough – and you get just enough sweetness.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

Cheesecake Layer

• 8 oz Cream Cheese Softened
• ⅓ cup Confectioner's Swerve
• 1 Egg
• 1 Tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

Brownie Layer

• ½ Cup Butter
• 1 Cup Confectioner's Swerve
• ⅓ Cup Cocoa Powder
• ½ Tsp Himalayan Pink Salt
• 2 Eggs
• ⅔ Cup Almond Flour

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)
• Grease baking pan
• Add cream cheese and ⅓ cup Swerve to a mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer to beat until smooth. Add 1 Egg and 1 tsp Vanilla and mix until fully combined.
• In another mixing bowl, add 1 cup Swerve, ⅓ cup cocoa powder and ½ tsp salt. Microwave until melted. 30 seconds at a time, whisking between, until the Swerve is completely dissolved. Add ⅔ cup almond flour, whisking until fully incorporated.
• Pour ⅔ of your brownie mixture into the baking pan, followed by the cheesecake mixture.
• Use a tablespoon to add the remaining brownie batter into the cheesecake layer (4 dollops)
• Swirl the batters together using a butter knife.
• Bake 15-25 minutes, check after 15 minutes. The brownies will be done when just the center is jiggly. I tap the edge of the baking pan to test with my oven mitts.
• You need to allow them to setup. Times vary, but the texture will be all wrong if you rush this. I transfer them to the freezer for an hour and then place them in the refrigerator, allowing myself as much time as possible before serving.
• Use your cake knife to slice the brownies into your desired size!
• They will store 3 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
