  How to Make Keto Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies – Step by Step

   

  Preparing the Brownie Batter

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well combined.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until smooth.
     

     Assembling the Brownies

  4. Create the batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir until a smooth batter forms.
  5. Prepare the cheesecake layer: Beat cream cheese, powdered erythritol, and egg yolk in a bowl until smooth.
  6. Layer the brownies: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Spoon the cheesecake mixture over this layer and spread evenly.
  7. Top with remaining brownie batter: Carefully spread the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake layer.
     

     Baking and Finishing

  8. Create marbled effect: Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the layers slightly for a decorative marbled effect.
  9. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  10. Cool: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
