My recipe for these keto cheesecake brownies have all the flavour of a Bounty bar in a chewy and soft keto cream cheese brownie. They are a great sugar free, low carb dessert bursting with flavour.
A layer of smooth coconut cheesecake is baked on a low carb chocolate brownie base. If you are a fan of the flavour combination of chocolate and coconut, this low carb dessert will not disappoint. Two desserts in one mouthful and a delicious keto treat at only 5g net carbs a large square.
These keto cheesecake brownies have no grains or refined sugar making them:
- Gluten-free
- Keto
- Low Carb
- Sugar-Free
- Utterly addictive.
The Chief Taster ate two in one go under the guise of research. As soon as one square was devoured, he returned to the fridge for another square. This is possibly the fastest time a dessert has been consumed in our house. I can only guess at how long they store or if you can freeze them as they barely saw the light of the following day.
How to make coconut cheesecake brownies
The brownie and the cheesecake are easy to make and it is simple as combining them for an indulgent keto dessert.
To make these keto friendly brownies you will need:
Coconut flour – Brands can vary so you may need to add extra coconut milk if your brownie batter is too thick
Cocoa – Use unsweetened.
Low carb sweetener – I use a blend of monkfruit & erythritol but any low carb sweetener would work.
Butter – unsalted is preferable.
Chocolate chips – use a high cocoa solid chocolate. Preferably from 70% upwards.
Eggs – medium in size and at room temperature.
Coconut – Either shredded fresh coconut or unsweetened desiccated coconut
Cream Cheese – no cheesecake would be complete without it!
Coconut extract – Adds another coconut flavour to the cheesecake layer.
Baking powder & Salt – essentials in any baking!

Recipe Tips
The eggs and cream cheese need to be at room temperature.
This recipe can be baked in an 8 inch circular cake tin instead of a square brownie tin.
Instead of placing the cheesecake mixture on the brownie base, swirl it into the batter for a marbled cheesecake brownie look.
Serve with a drizzle of chocolate or toasted coconut.

Can I replace coconut flour with almond flour? Also, can I replace coconut extract with vanilla extract?
Angela Coleby
Yes it can be replaced but you will need to reduce the quantity to about 1/2 cup of coconut flour. Vanilla extract would make a great swap too! Enjoy the recipe!
Mandy
I don’t see adding the shredded coconut into the cheesecake mixture in your directions.
