Here’s a rich and decadent Keto Cheesecake Brownies recipe—low-carb, fudgy, and creamy, perfect for satisfying chocolate cravings while staying keto-friendly.
Ingredients
Brownie Layer
-
1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
-
1/2 cup (100 g) granulated erythritol or other keto sweetener
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/3 cup (30 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1/2 cup (50 g) almond flour
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
1/2 tsp baking powder
Cheesecake Layer
-
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
-
1/4 cup (50 g) granulated erythritol
-
1 large egg
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease.
2. Make Brownie Batter
-
In a medium bowl, mix melted butter and sweetener until combined.
-
Beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
-
Stir in cocoa powder, almond flour, salt, and baking powder until smooth.
3. Make Cheesecake Layer
-
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
-
Add sweetener, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
4. Assemble
-
Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
-
Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer.
-
Use a knife or skewer to swirl the cheesecake into the brownie batter for a marbled effect.
5. Bake
-
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted into the brownie part comes out mostly clean.
-
Cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing.
6. Serve
-
Cut into squares.
-
Optional: sprinkle with sugar-free chocolate chips or a dusting of unsweetened cocoa powder.
Tips
-
For fudgier brownies, slightly underbake by 2–3 minutes.
-
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
-
You can also add a few drops of almond extract to the cheesecake layer for a flavor twist.
If you want, I can also give a one-bowl version that makes keto cheesecake brownies in under 30 minutes prep time—no separate bowls, no swirling needed, still rich and creamy.
