Best Cheesecake Brownies

It’s July!! I can’t even believe how fast the summer is flying by since school finished. Right now we are all about pool parties and easy food and treats to enjoy fun times with family and friends. What my kids love most is brownies. And I love cheesecake. So I married them and made these! The best of both Low Carb Recipes in my opinion, the ultimate Cheesecake Brownies!

Fostering a life style that’s active and balancing special snacks like these brownies are goals I strive for regularly in my home.

Easy Cheesecake Brownies

Just because they are made without sugar or gluten or grains doesn’t mean we can eat them for breakfast! Emphasizing this to my kids is always a challenge as an allergy friendly food blogger. Sometimes they think because my treats and snacks don’t have sugar they can splurge a little more and that’s just not the case. Snacks and treats have there place in a balanced life style for not only my kids, but myself. These easy cheesecake brownies will be completely satisfying so one is all you’ll need to feel content.

Homemade Quick Cheesecake Brownies

Brownies like these are the perfect make ahead treat for when you’ve got a bunch of kids coming over and need something fast. These whip up in 30 minutes and prep time is around 15-20 minutes. Easy to transport to a party as well! These were given the thumbs up from my kids, after 3 attempts to make them fudgey AND flourless!

Brenda’s Notes:

You can also make these without the cheesecake topping if you don’t feel like getting fancy, they are equally as good. You would need to deduct the cheesecake topping ingredients and input the rest of the ingredients into a calorie counter like myfitnesspal.com to figure out the nutrition info.
If you don’t have instant espresso you can leave it out but it does help enhance the chocolate flavor in the brownies.
You can sub the chocolate liquid stevia with vanilla liquid stevia or plain liquid stevia.
You can also use another sweetener of choice. Here is my conversion chart.
Swerve sweetener is less sweet than most erythritol sweeteners so if you were to substitute it, I would say just use 1/2 cup in the brownies and remove the chocolate stevia.
I like the brand Lily’s Sweets for sugar-free chocolate chips and that’s what I used in this recipe. You can use 85% dark chocolate instead as well.
If you don’t use Swerve or stevia in the cheesecake filling you can replace it with a sweetener of choice that equals about 1/2 cup of sugar.
