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!

Watch the recipe video tutorial, or scroll down for the full details and printable recipe card!

To make the brownie layer, cream some low carb sweetener (eg granular Swerve or xylitol) 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!
