How to Make Low Carb Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies
Cream together the butter and low carb sweetener in a stand mixer. I used Lakanto – get 20% off if you use coupon code SAFTC! Add almond flour, eggs, cocoa powder and baking powder.
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.
Spoon 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!

Abigail says
How do you freeze them?
sandi says
what can I use instead of xylitol?
Georgina says
Lakanto or granular Swerve are a good alternative!
Terri-Lee Wyborn says
These were wonderful thank you !
Georgina says
Yay! I’m so happy that you liked them!
Debbie says
I made these and they seem to be very soft and I baked them longer than the recipe called for. The only thing different I did was blend the cheesecake batter with a hand mixer. What did I do wrong or what can I do better the next time I make them.?
Georgina says
I’m so sorry that they didn’t work out for you. I don’t think that the hand mixer would make much difference. Were both layers soft?
