How to Make Keto Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies
While they may look fancy with their swirl design, these keto dark chocolate pumpkin cheesecake brownies are actually super simple to make.
Begin with the dark brownie mix. In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, swerve, stevia, vanilla extract, and eggs.
Then, add the almond flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, collagen, whey protein, baking powder, and salt, and whisk again until well combined. Slowly add the water until the batter is thinned to your liking.
Prepare the pumpkin cheesecake by beating the cream cheese, pumpkin puree, egg, powdered swerve, cinnamon, and nutmeg with an electric hand mixer until well combined.
Pour half of the batter into a parchment-lined 8×8 inch pan. Then spread ALL the pumpkin cream cheese evenly on top of the brownie batter.
Finally, drop the remaining brownie batter by the spoonful on top of the cheesecake layer, and marble with a knife.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is only slightly jiggly.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the baking dish…or if you can’t wait, slice it and gently remove a warm piece of dark chocolate pumpkin cheesecake brownie.
