Guys…this was HEAVENLY. If you are looking for a way to survive Halloween this year, honestly MAKE THIS. LOL (can you tell how much I love it? haha).
Or here is the basic version 🙂 :
Serves: 8
Brownie Layer:
-
1/4 cup truvia (or 2/3 cup of sweetener that measures like sugar, ex. splenda or swerve)
-
6 1/2 tbsp splenda or swerve (or more to taste)
-
1/2 cup(56g) almond flour
-
2 tbsp(14g) coconut flour
-
1 tsp xanthan gum
-
1/2 cup(48g) cocoa powder
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
1/4 tsp baking powder
-
3 eggs, room temperature
-
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
Optional: 2-3 tbsp of stevia sweetened chocolate-chips
Cream Cheese Layer:
-
1 8oz block of cream cheese, softened
-
1 tbsp truvia (or 2 tbsp splenda or swerve)
-
3 tbsp splenda or swerve (or more to taste)
-
1 egg
-
1/8th tsp vanilla extract
-
Orange food colouring as needed
Directions:
-
Pre-heat oven to 350*F
-
In a large bowl, combine all of your dry ingredients for the brownie layer.
-
Add your eggs, coconut oil and vanilla and mix until well combined. Fold in your chocolate-chips if using, and set aside.
-
In another large bowl, beat together the ingredients for the cream cheese layer. Add your food colouring as desired and beat again.
-
Grease a cake pan with butter or coconut oil and then use a spatula to scrape the brownie mixture into the pan, reserving a few tablespoons of the brownie mixture for topping.
-
Use your spatula to smooth the brownie batter into place and then pour your cream cheese mixture on top.
-
Gently smooth your cream cheese mixture over the brownie mixture.
-
Next drop spoonfuls of the brownie batter on top and swirl into the cream cheese batter(this doesn’t have to be perfect!)
-
Bake at 350* for roughly 25min or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top layer forms small cracks/is set.
-
Let cool on a wire rack for 5-10min and then place in the fridge for AT LEAST an hour before slicing and serving.
-
Enjoy!! (Store covered in the fridge)
