"Wow, that looks so perfect! I thought it was store-bought." Always a compliment in my book when baking especially when it's for a birthday. This past weekend, we celebrated my brother's and dad's birthdays with great friends, great barbeque, and of course, great cake: this Keto Brownie Cheesecake!

How to Make Keto Brownie Cheesecake
My parents have been doing the ketogenic diet since November 2017. They survived Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter! I just had to make something everyone would love but still be keto friendly.
I knew my dad loved cheesecake. Especially the keto mousse with tons of cream cheese. I found the perfect recipe: Keto Brownie Cheesecake from the lovely Carolyn at All Day I Dream About Food. She even has her own best seller ketogenic diet cookbook that you can find on Amazon.
With its 20 minute prep time, it was definitely a breeze to make. Plus, there were NO leftovers with this dish! My only regret was making this in a 10 inch springform pan instead of a 9 inch springform pan (it was all they had at the grocery store!).
A "beautification" tip for this cake would be to shave off the sides so there is a clear distinction between the cheesecake top and the brownie bottom crust.

Do you think I can substitute coconut flour for the almond flour? My brother has a nut allergy. Thanks!
Regina says
I only had stevia and not swerve. I still must of done something wrong because the brownie bottom was awful. Tasted just like the sugar free chocolate bar? It looked beautiful and like a brownie. But sad I messed up somewhere!
Virgilia says
Really good recipe. Especially enjoyed the bronwie layer. Definitly making a batch of brownies soon
Olivia Wyles says
Oh man! You should definitely try the keto/paleo brownies from Gnom Gnom! I love that gal.
Manju says
If I want it to eggless what can I use please
Olivia Wyles says
Hi Manju, flaxmeal or chia seeds can be used as an egg replacement. Check out this really informative post on egg replacements from Your Lighter Side.
Emily says
Tried making this today for us to be able to celebrate my nephew's birthday without breaking keto, I hate to bake mine with the cheese cake layer longer and at a higher temp because mine was much thicker (think my pan was a 7 or 8 inch) but I can't wait to dig into. Does the chocolate sause make it better? Trying to decide if I want to go with the extra carbs to make it
Olivia Wyles says
Hi Emily, congrats on sticking with it! I think the chocolate sauce is more of a decoration than a flavor enhancement so it could be left out to save those carbs.
Melody says
This was very good I’m not a dark chocolate fan but I am beginning to accept it more. Lol. But it is very dark chocolatey tasting.
Olivia Wyles says
Yes ma'am! On the keto diet, dark chocolate seems to be a major pantry staple because of the low carb count compared to other chocolate. But I bet this recipe could be reworked to include a milk chocolate or hazelnut crust. That sounds so delicious!
Michelle says
this looks wonderful! was wondering if I could substitute erythritol for swerve?
Olivia Wyles says
Oh yes! The main ingredient in Swerve is erythritol. It’s the only brand I use for keto baking! No bitter aftertaste and it bakes just like regular sugar. I hope you enjoy it!
