These Keto Cheesecake Brownies combine two of my favorite desserts. They are super easy to make, moist, fudgy, and completely grain-free. Since I was working on sharing easy keto desserts, I included a low carb brownie mix that I purchased. If you’re sensitive to almonds, then these are perfect for you because the low carb brownies are actually made with coconut flour. Overall, these are perfect if you’re searching for kid-friendly keto food, easy keto date night dinner desserts, or easy keto desserts that you won’t believe are keto-friendly 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.
Making Low Carb Brownie Mix from Scratch:
As I mentioned above, when I first made this recipe, I used a low-carb brownie mix that I got from my February 2019 Keto Delivered Box.
Since then, I’ve made my own brownies at home. If you’d like to make your brownies from scratch, then you can use my coconut flour brownies recipe. It’s gluten-free and keto-friendly.
How do you make Keto Cheesecake Brownies?
Making a keto version of cheesecake brownies is similar to the process of making regular cheesecake brownies.
- Prepare the brownie batter according to the package or recipe instructions
- Prepare the cheesecake layer
- Put the brownie batter in a baking pan
- Swirl in spoonfuls of cheesecake batter before baking
I kind of failed at the swirling part, but it came out delicious! Better luck next time!
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.
