Keto Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies Ingredients
Another great thing about these easy red velvet cheesecake brownies is that they use only a few easy low-carb ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. So check this list of ingredients and start making these delicious gluten-free red velvet brownies.
- Almond Flour – use superfine blanched almond flour to get that fluffy texture, that’s not gritty.
- Eggs – use fresh and large eggs at room temperature. Act as a binding agent, holding the ingredients together.
- Butter – adds richness and moisture to the brownie layer. Ghee or coconut oil can be used as a dairy-free option.
- Cocoa Powder – Use unsweetened cocoa powder for a subtle chocolate flavor. Cocoa powder also helps with the texture.
- Sweetener – Opt for a keto-friendly powdered sweetener that blends well and doesn’t leave a cooling aftertaste. Erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit sweeteners are excellent choices for keto baking.
- Baking Powder – help the brownies rinse and become super fluffy.
- White Vinegar – This is used to get the full classic red velvet flavor.
- Red Food Coloring – Use a high-quality liquid or gel food coloring to achieve that vibrant red color.
- Cream Cheese – use full-fat cream cheese at room temperature to ensure it combines well.
- Vanilla Extract – use a high-quality vanilla extract for an intense and delicious flavor.
How To Make Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies
These keto red velvet brownies are so easy to make that I choose to prepare them anytime I have a sweet craving or want to impress my loved one. So here is everything you have to do:
Initial preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Make the Keto Red Velvet Brownie Layer
- Start with the Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the melted butter and eggs until they’re light and frothy. This helps create a smooth, airy base for your brownies.
- Add Color and Flavor: Mix in the white vinegar and red food coloring next. Stir well until the color looks even throughout the mixture. The vinegar helps keep the color bright and adds a subtle tanginess typical of red velvet.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients Separately: In a different bowl, sift together the almond flour, cocoa powder, powdered sweetener, and baking powder. This step ensures there are no lumps and helps evenly distribute each component.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly add your dry ingredients to the wet mix, stirring constantly. Keep mixing until you have a smooth batter where everything is fully mixed in.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Pour your brownie batter into a greased baking dish, using a spatula to spread it out evenly. A smooth, even layer sets the stage for a beautiful cheesecake swirl on top.
Making the Cheesecake Layer
- Mix Cheesecake Ingredients: In another bowl, blend the cream cheese, powdered sweetener, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Cheesecake to Brownie Layer: Spoon dollops of the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer. Don’t worry about making it perfect; the swirls will add to the charm.
- Create the Swirls: Drag a knife or a toothpick through the cheesecake dollops to swirl them into the brownie batter. This not only looks pretty but also combines the flavors beautifully.
Baking Keto Red Velvet Brownies
Time to Bake: Put your dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. You’re looking for set edges and a center that’s firm but not dry. Ovens vary, so start checking at 25 minutes to avoid overbaking.
Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the baking dish before slicing and serving.
Tips For Making The Best Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies
- Ensure that your eggs and cream cheese are at room temperature before using them. Room-temperature ingredients mix more evenly and create a smoother batter.
- Mix the brownie batter until it’s smooth and there are no lumps. Also, mix the cheesecake layer until it’s creamy and well combined. Overmixing can lead to tough brownies, so mix until just combined.
- Choose from a high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder to achieve a rich chocolate flavor in your brownies.
- Be mindful not to overbake the brownies. They should be slightly firm around the edges but still slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. Remember that they will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the baking dish before slicing and serving. This helps them set properly and ensures clean slices.
Recipe Variations
- Mix in sugar-free chocolate chips to the brownie batter for extra richness.
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the brownie batter for a crunchy texture.
- Top cooled brownies with a layer of keto-friendly cream cheese frosting for added decadence.
Serving Ideas
- Enjoy these brownies on their own as a delicious dessert or snack.
- Serve with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a scoop of keto-friendly ice cream for a delicious treat.
- Pair with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon pick-me-up.
Storing Ideas
- Fridge: You can store any leftovers of these keto red velvet brownies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: You can also freeze these gluten-free red velvet brownies. Transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or in an airtight container and freeze them for up to one month. When you want to serve them, defrost the brownies at room temperature and reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Use Coconut Flour Instead Of Almond Flour?
While coconut flour can be used as a substitute, keep in mind that it absorbs more liquid than almond flour, so you may need to adjust the ratio of wet ingredients accordingly.
Can I Omit The Red Food Coloring?
Yes, you can skip the food coloring if desired. The brownies will still have a delicious chocolate flavor without the red hue.
How Can I Tell If The Brownies Are Done Baking?
The brownies are done baking when the edges are set and slightly pulled away from the pan’s sides, and the center is slightly firm to the touch. You can also insert a toothpick into the center, and if it comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it, the brownies are ready.
