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.

Carol says
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.
Flip says
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
