Tips for the Best Keto Cheesecake Brownies
- Use Softened Cream Cheese
Cold cream cheese won’t mix smoothly—let it soften at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. - Don’t Overbake
The brownies should be slightly jiggly in the center when you take them out—they’ll firm up as they cool. - Chill Before Slicing
For clean slices and the best texture, refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cutting. - Make Them Dairy-Free
Swap cream cheese with dairy-free cream cheese and butter with coconut oil. - Storage Tips
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: Freeze individual squares for up to 3 months.
FAQ
1. Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Yes, but coconut flour is more absorbent. Use 1/4 cup coconut flour instead of 3/4 cup almond flour and add an extra egg.
2. What’s the best sugar-free sweetener for this recipe?
- Erythritol & Monk Fruit: Great for a sugar-like taste.
- Allulose: Produces the best fudgy texture.
- Stevia: Can be used, but it may alter the taste.
3. Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! These brownies taste even better the next day after chilling in the fridge.
4. How do I make them extra fudgy?
- Use allulose instead of erythritol.
- Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes.
5. Can I add nuts or other mix-ins?
Absolutely! Try adding chopped pecans, walnuts, or extra chocolate chips for more texture.
