Mint and chocolate is one of my all-time favorite flavor combinations – my Chocolate Peppermint Cocktail is so delicious! A few days ago I had the craving for that flavor combo – but rather unusually for me I fancied something baked. I decided to adapt my popular Chocolate Cheesecake Brownie recipe and create a mint version!

How to Make Low Carb Mint Chocolate Cheesecake Brownie Bars
To make the brownie layer, cream some low carb sweetener (eg Lakanto – get 20% off everything in the Lakanto store with coupon code SAFTC!) and butter together in a stand mixer. Add almond flour, eggs, unsweetened cocoa powder, and water, and beat until smooth. Spoon into an 8×8″ square baking pan lined with baking parchment, and place in a preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, beat together some cream cheese, sweetener, an egg, peppermint extract, and (if you like) green food dye. I use an electric whisk for this.
Once the brownie layer has pre-cooked, spread the cream cheese layer over the top and return it to the oven for 20 minutes or until the top layer has set. Let cool slightly then cut into 9 squares.
These are so delicious!

Love the mint/chocolate combo! I’ve never thought to make a brownie version of it so I’ll have to try this one!
Taryn says
These look amazing! My kids love mint. We need to try these.
Katrin says
Yesss! I get an occasional VERY STRONG craving for After Eights. I’ll keep this recipe ready for next time. It’ll more than fit the bill!
STACEY says
These look great Georgina!
Kim | Low Carb Maven says
Yes! One of the best combos ever – but my husband would strongly disagree. That’s okay, more for me, right? These look good.
Sarah says
Brownies are my weakness! And I love the chocolate/mint combo!
Jessica says
Hi there wondering if anyone has made these with coconut flour instead of almond meal. Have a little one allergic to tree nuts. Not sure how they would work out?
Neil says
I made this with Stevia because I couldn’t find the 2 recommended low carb sweeteners, its inedible! Did anyone actually make this? Maybe it was the stevia.
Gini says
I make these all the time, with xylitol, my go-to sweetener. And they always work. I don’t like stevia so won’t try it but thanks for the heads up anyway!
Gini says
This recipe has been updated using lakanto – give it another try!
Vickey says
I love this recipe I made the pepper man and a lemon and I took a picture of the lemon is very delicious thank you for posting this recipe
Ashley says
Yeah I have these in the oven right now. I followed the instructions and when I pulled the brownie layer out of the over to add the cheese cake layer they blended together, as the brownies weren’t nearly done enough. I am sure they will taste amazing but they will not look like the picture to say the least. Maybe a bit more cooking time for the brownie layer if I make again.
Gini says
Hi Ashley – I’ve done exactly the same – why don’t I learn from these comments? Back in the oven now, then we’ll see how messy they turn out!!
