Ingredients for Keto Cheesecake Brownies
To make these cream cheese keto brownies you’ll need just a few ingredients that are super common and easy to find. Just gather all the ingredients and enjoy a decadent low carb brownie recipe.
- Almond Flour– Use superfine, balanced almond flour for the best texture. Almond meal won’t work.
- Eggs– I always use large eggs at room temperature to reduce the eggy taste.
- Unsalted Butter – High-Quality Butter is very important.
- Dark Chocolate– Unsweetened chocolate is the best.
- Cocoa Powder– I recommend using a Dutch-processed cocoa powder, but make sure to sift it to get rid of the bigger lumps.
- Powdered Sweetener– Using powdered sweeteners while baking makes a huge difference in taste and texture. Choose your favourite such as monk fruit sweetener, allulose, or erythritol.
- Vanilla Extract– amplifies the chocolate taste. Additionally, you can use a teaspoon of instant coffee.
- Baking Powder– helps these low carb brownies become super fluffy.
- Cream Cheese – Use full fat if you want that extra creaminess of a delicious cheesecake. Make sure to use softened cream cheese so it mixes well in the cheesecake batter.
How to Make Keto Cheesecake Brownies
These low carb keto Cheesecake Brownies are super easy to make from scratch. You’ll need to make a fudgy keto brownies layer and a batch of our delicious cheesecake layer.
Make the cheesecake layer
In a large bowl combine the cream cheese, sweetener, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. It’s best to use room temperature ingredients and an electric mixer to be sure your cheesecake is perfectly smooth.
Brownies Layer
The keto brownies layer needs a little bit more work but it’s definitely worth it.
Start by sifting the dry ingredients to remove any clumps the almond flour and sweetener might have.
Combine it with the beaten eggs, melted chocolate, and butter until it looks smooth and delicious.
Tips for Making Perfect Low Carb Cheesecake Brownies
- Make sure you DON’T OVER BAKE the keto cheesecake brownies. This is one of the most important steps you have to follow if you don’t want to want up with a dry and gritty dessert. That’s the secret to perfectly rich and fudgy cheesecake brownies.
- Use Powdered Erythritol for the best results. Xylitol is a great keto sweetener to use too but you’ll have to reduce the cooking time by at least 5 minutes.
- Use eggs at room temperature, so you’ll get a nice batter that’s not too thick.
- Stir a few sugar-free chocolate chips in the brownies batter for a even more chocolaty dessert.
What Pan To Use for Keto Brownies?
These brownies work best in an 8×8 inch baking pan, but a 9×9 inch pan works well too. I’ve found that a 7×11 pan makes them way thinner than I want them to be.
How to Store Cheesecake Keto Brownies
- Fridge– Leftover keto cheesecake brownies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freezer– To freeze, individually wrap cheesecake keto brownies and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, defrost at room temperature and then reheat for a few seconds in the microwave.
