Brownie with Cream Cheese Icing


Pre-heat and Bake @ 325
for
25 minutes
Brownie (Reference From: All Day I Dream About Food)
  • 1 Cup Almond Flour
  • ½ Cup Cocoa Powder
  • ¾ Cup Swerve
  • 6 Tbs Stevia
  • 1 Stick of butter
  • 4 oz of unsweetened chocolate
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ tsp Vanilla
  • ½ Cup Chopped Walnuts
  • ½ Cup of your favorite M&M’s (optional) I used Red Velvet

Whisk dry ingredients together till well combined. In a small pot set on low, melt the butter and unsweetened chocolate. Beat eggs, vanilla, and melted chocolate mix to the dry ingredients until well combined. Fold in walnuts and M&M’s. Pour into an 8x8 glass dish (spray with coconut oil first). Once done cooking, set aside to cool. Then add icing and place in refrigerator for a couple hours or overnight.

Cream Cheese Icing (Reference From: All Day I Dream About Food)
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese
  • ¾ Cup Coconut Oil
  • 6 Tbs Swerve Powder
  • 3 Tbs Stevia
  • ½ Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract

Beat cream cheese and coconut oil until well combined. Add the remaining ingredients. The icing will look thick and has a slight coconut taste due to the oil. But taste wonderful on the brownie.

Notes: Swerve is expensive that’s why Stevia has been added to the mixes. With the minimal amount of Stevia added there’s no after taste.
