Ingredients You’ll Need
(Makes 16 brownies)
For the Brownie Base:
¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-process or natural)
½ cup (1 stick / 115g) unsalted butter, melted
½ cup (120ml) neutral oil (avocado or melted coconut)
¾ cup (150g) granulated keto sweetener (like erythritol or allulose blend—Swerve or Lakanto work well)
3 large eggs, room temperature
1½ tsp pure vanilla extract
1½ cups (150g) blanched almond flour
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
For the Cheesecake Swirl:
8 oz (225g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
¼ cup (50g) keto sweetener
1 large egg yolk
½ tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 1 tbsp lemon juice (for classic cheesecake tang)
💡 Pro Tips:
Use room-temperature cream cheese—no lumps!
Allulose-based sweeteners yield a fudgier, less gritty texture than pure erythritol.
Don’t overbake—they firm as they cool!
