Ingredients Method

Ingredients
 
 

For the Brownie Base:
  • 7 oz Dark Chocolate (at least 70-85% cocoa, sugar-free/Stevia-sweetened)
  • 2/3 cup Unsalted Butter
  • Splenda or your favorite sugar substitute, equivalent to 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 Large Eggs + 1 Egg Yolk
  • 1 1/4 cups Fine Almond Flour
  • 1/4 cup Dutch-process Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • A large pinch of Salt
For the Cheesecake Swirl & Topping:
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese (Full-fat)
  • Splenda equivalent to 1/8 cup sugar
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 4 oz Fresh Strawberries (diced small)
  • 2-3 tbsp Sliced Almonds for the topping

Method
 

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 340°F (170°C). Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides.
  2. Melt: Melt the butter and chopped chocolate together over a water bath (double boiler) or in the microwave in short bursts. Once smooth, stir in your Splenda and vanilla, then let it cool slightly.
  3. Emulsify: Add the eggs and the extra yolk one by one, whisking well after each addition until the batter is thick and glossy.
  4. Dry Ingredients: Fold in the almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt with a spatula. Do not overmix.
  5. Cheesecake Mix: In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese with the Splenda and the egg yolk until smooth.
  6. Assemble: Pour 3/4 of the brownie batter into the pan. Spoon the cheesecake mixture on top in dollops, then drop the remaining brownie batter over the cheese layer. Use a knife to create a marble effect. Sprinkle with the diced strawberries.
  7. The "Almond Trick":
  8. Bake for 20 minutes.
  9. Quickly pull out the oven rack and sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top.
  10. Bake for another 15-20 minutes (Total time: approx. 35-40 minutes).
  11. Chill: Let it cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Almond flour brownies need time to set to achieve that perfect, fudgy texture.
