Ingredients
Brownie Layer
½ cup butter, at room temperature
4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
¾ cup blanched almond flour
⅔ cup powdered allulose sweetener
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
¼ teaspoon sea salt (only if using unsalted butter)
Cheesecake Layer
16 oz cream cheese, softened
¾ cup powdered allulose sweetener
2 large eggs
½ tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup unsweetened dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
Make the Brownie Batter
Melt the butter and baking chocolate together over low heat using a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Add almond flour, powdered sweetener, cocoa powder, salt, and eggs. Mix until fully combined. The batter will look slightly grainy, which is normal. Spread ¾ of the batter evenly into the prepared pan and reserve the remaining ¼.
Make the Cheesecake Batter
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sweetener until smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla extract.
Assemble
Gently fold the reserved brownie batter into the cheesecake mixture, leaving visible swirls. Pour this mixture over the brownie base. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top if using.
Bake
Bake for 35–40 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly wobbly. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan.
Serve
Lift the brownies out using the parchment paper, slice into squares, and enjoy.
