# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. This ensures your Heavenly Keto Cheesecake Brownies (Only 3g Net Carbs) won't stick.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted, 2 large eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until well combined. This forms the rich, fudgy foundation for your brownie layer.
03 -
To the wet mixture, add 3/4 cup super-fine almond flour, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener blend, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Mix until just combined, then fold in 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips.
04 -
In a separate medium bowl, beat 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened, with 1/4 cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener blend until smooth. Beat in 1 large egg, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/2 tsp instant espresso powder until just combined.
05 -
Spread about two-thirds of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Dollop the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer. Drop the remaining brownie batter in small spoonfuls over the cheesecake. Swirl gently with a knife for beautiful Heavenly Keto Cheesecake Brownies (Only 3g Net Carbs).
06 -
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the brownie portion comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). Avoid overbaking to maintain fudginess.
07 -
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. For the best texture and to easily slice your Heavenly Keto Cheesecake Brownies (Only 3g Net Carbs), refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into 16 squares.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra fudginess, slightly underbake the brownies. They will continue to set as they cool.
02 -
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
03 -
The instant espresso powder enhances the chocolate flavor without making the brownies taste like coffee. You can omit it if preferred.
04 -
Serve these delicious keto brownies chilled for the best firm cheesecake texture, perhaps with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream.
