Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup erythritol
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the brownies.
- Prepare Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.
- Layer Batter: Grease a baking dish and pour half of the brownie batter evenly into the bottom.
- Add Cheesecake Layer: Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the brownie batter layer to create a distinct cheesecake center.
- Top with Remaining Brownie Batter: Carefully spread the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted near the edges comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before slicing into 16 squares to serve.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth cheesecake filling.
- Do not overmix the brownie batter once wet and dry ingredients are combined to keep brownies tender.
- Allow brownies to cool fully to help the cheesecake layer set properly and prevent crumbling when sliced.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Use powdered erythritol for the cheesecake filling to avoid graininess and to maintain a smooth texture.
