These Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies are definitely one of my favorite recipes from the book, although it’s probably the most complicated one in the book! But I am just addicted to the way these look. And taste. 🙂

Cream together the butter and low carb sweetener in a stand mixer. I use xylitol but something like Swerve would work well too. Add almond flour, an egg, cocoa powder and water, and mix until smooth. Pour into an 8×8″ square tin lined with parchment paper.

Either clean out the stand mixer bowl, or use a hand mixer for the cheesecake layer. Actually I know people who have TWO bowls for their stand mixer – I think I’ll be adding another one to my wish list! Whisk together some cream cheese, granular sweetener, another egg and some vanilla extract.

Pour the mixture on top of the chocolate brownie layer. Use a skewer, knife or toothpick to gently swirl the layers together.

Bake in a preheated oven for around 25 minutes or until the cheesecake topping is firm. Transfer the brownies to a cooling rack and let cool, then cut into 16 squares.

Enjoy this delicious low carb sweet snack!
