About

These brownies are so fudgy and delicious! What makes them even more decadent is the cheesecake swirl that tops them all!

Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 cup the ultimate icing sugar replacement by swerve
  • 1 cup 100% cocoa special dark by hershey's
  • 4 large raw egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • 8 ounce cream cheese
  • ½ cup the ultimate icing sugar replacement by swerve
  • 1 large raw egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat an oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, 1 cup of Swerve, cocoa powder, salt, eggs, and vanilla extract until incorporated. Add the almond flour and mix it in.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, heat the cream cheese for 30 seconds until softened. Add 1 egg, ½ cup of Swerve, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until combined.
  3. Line an 8” x 8” baking dish with parchment paper that hangs over the sides some. Spray the parchment with cooking spray. Pour the brownie batter into the baking dish.
  4. Spoon the cream cheese mixture all over the top of the brownie batter, then using a butter knife swirl the cream cheese into the brownie batter well.
  5. You should have two distinct layers, which is a brownie layer and a cream cheese layer with some brownie swirls.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the center is cooked through and the edges are lightly browned. Cool at room temperature until cool to the touch. Then refrigerate the brownies until chilled before cutting. To make cutting easier, run a knife under hot water before making each cut. This keeps the knife clean and warm, which helps cut through the brownies. Keep stored in the fridge until ready to eat!
