Ingredients

Prepare to embark on a journey of keto sweetness with the following ingredients:

For the Brownie Base:

1 cup almond flour for a nutty and low-carb foundation
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder for rich chocolatey goodness
1/2 cup melted butter for a luscious and moist texture
1/2 cup granulated keto-friendly sweetener for sweetness without the carbs
2 large eggs for structure and richness
1 teaspoon vanilla extract for a hint of warmth
A pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate flavor

For the Mint Cream Layer:

1/2 cup softened cream cheese for a creamy and tangy layer
1/4 cup powdered keto-friendly sweetener for sweetness and smooth texture
1/2 teaspoon mint extract for that refreshing mint kick
Green food coloring (optional) for a vibrant minty hue

For the Chocolate Ganache:

1/2 cup sugar-free dark chocolate, chopped, for a luxurious ganache
1/4 cup heavy cream for a velvety and smooth finish

Instructions

Crafting the Brownie Base:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan.
In a bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, melted butter, sweetener, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.

Creating the Mint Cream Layer:

In another bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sweetener, mint extract, and green food coloring (if using) until smooth and well incorporated.
Once the brownie base has cooled, spread the mint cream layer over it evenly.

Finishing with Chocolate Ganache:

In a heatproof bowl, melt the sugar-free dark chocolate with heavy cream, either in a microwave or over a double boiler, until smooth.
Pour the chocolate ganache over the mint cream layer, spreading it evenly.
Allow the brownies to set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Slice the Creamy Keto Mint Brownies into squares and serve chilled. The combination of fudgy brownie, creamy mint, and rich chocolate ganache creates a symphony of flavors that will satisfy your sweet cravings while keeping it keto-friendly.
