Ok so I’m not a huge fan of keto substitutions for junk but my wife is easing into this lifestyle and needs transitional foods. One thing that is required is a nice fudgey brownie. This is something I honestly believed would be impossible to replicate in a ketogenic way.
I was wrong.
So without further ado, here’s my keto friendly “666” fudge brownie recipe.
you will need:
- 6 eggs
- 6 ounces butter (melted)
- 6 ounces 1/3 reduced fat cream cheese (warm)
- 2.5 ounces sifted cocoa powder
- 5 tablespoons erythritol
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3.5 ounces baking chocolate or 85%+ dark chocolate chopped fine. I used a Lindt 90% bar
- liquid sweetener to taste
- 1-2tsp extract of choice (vanilla, almond, maple, etc.) [optional]
Preheat oven to 350F and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.
Melt butter and combine with cream cheese with hand mixer. Once well combined, add eggs and mix well. Pour into dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Pour into baking pan and level with a spatula. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until set in the middle. Cool before serving. I cut it into 12 brownies. Macro breakdown is as follows:
