Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts. So, when I got this low carb brownie mix in the February Keto Delivered Box, it only made sense for me to make a cheesecake version of keto brownies. These Keto Cheesecake Brownies are super easy to make, moist, fudgy, and grain-free.
They are a perfect dessert for an easy keto date night dinner and one of several keto cake recipes that you won’t believe are keto and no sugar added!
What makes these Keto Cheesecake Brownies easy?
This recipe takes less than 10 minutes to prep so for me it qualifies as an easy keto dessert recipe. The main thing that helped cut time was the fact that I used a packaged low carb brownie mix. I tried this mix for keto brownies before when I made these Brownie Sandwiches. The mix is made with coconut flour and each serving has 2g net carbs.
Where do you buy Low Carb Brownie mix?
I’m certain that there are low carb and keto brownie recipes that you can make from scratch on the web. Any brownie recipe for will work. As mentioned, though, I got this mix from the February Keto Delivered Box so I used it in this recipe. If you’d like to use the same mix that I used, then it’s available online here.
How do you make Keto Cheesecake Brownies?
Making a keto version of cheesecake brownies is similar to the process of making regular cheesecake brownies. You prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, put the brownie batter in a baking pan, and swirl in spoonfuls of cheesecake batter before baking. I kind of failed at the swirling part, but it came out delicious!
What kind of grain-free flour do these Keto Cheesecake Brownies include?
The keto brownies mix that I used includes coconut flour. If you are not a fan of coconut flour-based keto brownies mixes, then another option is this one that is made from sunflower seeds.
What are these Keto Cheesecake Brownies sweetened with?
These low carb brownies are sweetened with monk fruit, stevia, and erythritol. The monk fruit and stevia are used in the brownie mix. I used erythritol in the cheesecake batter.

Is this really calling for 12 tablespoons of butter?
Yes. That’s the equivalent of 3/4 cups of butter (1.5 sticks). I measured in tbsp instead of cups since that’s often easier to measure. You can swap out the butter for melted coconut oil if you’d like.
