These Keto Cheesecake Brownies combine two of my favorite desserts. They are super easy to make, moist, fudgy, and completely grain-free. To keep this easy, they include one of my favorite keto fudge brownie mixes. Make this dessert if who want decadent brownies made with coconut flour that taste like the real deal.
Why Make These
Whether you’re looking for something kid-friendly or want something to make ahead for an easy keto date night dinner these keto cheesecake brownies will surely be a hit.
This recipe takes less than 10 minutes to prep. Plus, it includes a keto baking mix, making it perfect for those, like me, who prefer to cook and not bake from scratch.
Ingredient Notes
You can find the full list of ingredients in the recipe card below. Some notes to help you make these successfully.
- Brownie Mix: The base of this recipe is brownie mix. I prefer the one linked in the recipe card. But, you can also make coconut flour brownies using my coconut flour brownies recipe.
- Brownie Batter: You should also know that the section in the recipe for “brownie batter” includes ingredients necessary to make the brownie mix. If you’re using a different mix, simply follow the instructions on the packaging or recipe to make the brownie batter.
- Sweetener: I’m using a keto-friendly sweetener that is an erythritol blend. It includes monk fruit too! I prefer blends because they taste more like regular sugar when substituted into recipes. If you are using something different, just add the egg last to the cheesecake batter and sweeten to taste.
How to Make These
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!

So change the brownie recipe …only use 3/4 cup of butter and only 3 eggs…? In place of original 1 cup butter and 4 eggs…is that correct?
Thank you in advance

Hi Melissa,
You should make the brownie layer as is listed on its package. This way, the brownie part still turns out delicious and fudge-like. I will double-check this recipe to make sure that the brownie mix I used hasn’t updated the ingredients since I first shared this.
Hope that helps.
Best,
Davinah

I made these tonight first time. At first the recipe was a little confusing to me…since it said make the brownies according to the package and then it also told you to add eggs, butter etc…thankfully I didn’t other than that it was super easy to make and they are very good. I used an 8×8” pan and got 16 servings. I gave 4 stars only because the directions in the beginning confused me.
Davinah says
Hi Flip,
Thanks a lot for that helpful feedback. Looking back, I can see how that may have been confusing. The eggs and butter were part of the directions in the mix that I recommend. So happy that you enjoyed these!
Best,
Davinah

Is this really calling for 12 tablespoons of butter?
Davinah says
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.
