Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the erythritol and continue to beat until well combined.
- Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and heavy whipping cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Set aside.
- Prepare the Brownie Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8×8-inch baking pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter with the unsweetened dark chocolate. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly. Then, whisk in the eggs and granulated erythritol until the mixture is well blended.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, and baking powder. Add this dry mixture to the chocolate mixture and stir until just combined.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
- Assemble and Bake:
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Spoon the cream cheese filling over the brownie batter, spreading it gently.
- Top with the remaining brownie batter, spreading it evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Swirl the layers together gently with a knife or toothpick to create a marbled effect.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 32-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan before cutting into squares.
