Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies – Low Carb, Grain Gluten & Sugar-Free, THM S, Keto

I have to admit I’ve been eating these for breakfast. They have fruit so they are breakfast food, right? Even if they aren’t I’m happy to indulge. They are delicious with a cup of coffee and easy to eat while nursing my baby.

This brownie is based on Hannah’s Fabulous Brownie Recipe. It really is a fabulous brownie and if you just want a simple decadent chocolate brownie that one should be on your list.

I, however, have been craving dark chocolate raspberry everything. It is the one fruit/chocolate combo I like. I had an amazing dark chocolate raspberry cheesecake over the summer so that was when my craving started. I decided to turn that cheesecake into a brownie to capitalize on the chocolate portion.

I’ll try to make a long story short but there is someone special to my family that loves dark chocolate raspberry and I always think of her whenever I make this recipe. When my husband was in high school and college one of his best friends, Josh, had muscular dystrophy. I was blessed to meet him when my husband and I began dating in college. Unfortunately, he passed away before we even graduated. We’ve stayed close to his family ever since. They are truly family to us after all these years.

Josh’s mom, Maryanne, is the dark chocolate raspberry fan. She is a fabulous cook and fantastic baker. One of her favorite sayings is “It’s all about the presentation.” And she is known for making all of her treats look beautiful. For my children’s Baptisms she’s always made cut out butter cookies with their first initial. She dips them in chocolate and sprinkles and they taste even better then they look.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies!

    I made these brownies the other day, and they turned out delicious, but incredibly crumbly! I am wondering what I did wrong. My flours were expired, but in the freezer. I followed the recipe to a T. Please help!

      Hmmm. These are not crumbly. Did you chill them before you served them? That helps them hold together. How long past the expiration are the flours?

        I ate some right away and they were a bit more gelled, but when I refrigerated they got more crumbly.... I microwaved and they seemed a bit better. The almond flour is probably at least 6 to 10 months old, but in the freezer... Not sure on the coconut flour. I have THM baking blend. Would it be better to try that?

    Absolutely delicious! A little too rich for me but I mainly made for my diabetic husband to help him with his sugar addiction. Should they be refrigerated to keep for a week or freeze and thaw several pieces at once? If I leave on the counter they will be gone by morning!

      You can refrigerate for a week or two and freeze for longer. Up to you.

    This looks amazing! Thanks for the amazing recipe! Im going to try tonight! Just wondering Im thinking of using Erythritol instead of using the sweetener . Do you know how much i should put? Thank you :)
    Reply
    • Taryn says

      May 20, 2019 at 2:40 pm

      It would be 1.5 to 2x as much. With just erythritol they may have a minty flavor/sensation.

    Aarrgh - PLEASE would you use scales for your recipes and not wretched cups!! Would love to try your recipes but we in the UK haven't a clue what quantities you are talking about and I haven't time to start looking for an online converter! Thanks.

      No. I'm sorry. I'm in the US as are 95% of my readers. I am also a mom of 5 with a toddler underfoot as I work. I do not have time to convert my recipes for one or two people. I enjoy my 'wretched cups'.

        Sorry, didn't mean to offend you - my comment was slightly tongue-in-cheek but probably sounded plain rude in writing. I'm sure a lot more than 5% of the people who like your recipes are non-US and would like to see measurements they recognize as it can be disheartening not to be able to use them instantly but I appreciate your situation.

        Haha. It's ok. I joke a lot too and that can be hard to decipher on the internet. Truly, 95% of my traffic is North America. I just double checked my analytics. But I'm going to look into having my recipe card convert measurements. I think that is an option. 😀
      • Flo says

        October 10, 2018 at 12:32 pm

        That would be great! In the meantime, I will do a conversion myself of this recipe as it ticks all my boxes so thanks for posting it!

        I’m in the UK too but most recipes are in cups even from NZ. What I do it weigh out when I’m putting it into the cups so then I know for next time. Joseph Joseph do a lovely set of bows with cups inside, which are super handy.

    Hi, this looks like a great recipe. Can you tell me if the brownies will freeze if made ahead of time?

    I use Swerve for sweetener. How much would you suggest I use in this recipe?
    Reply
    • Taryn says

      September 2, 2018 at 11:42 am

      You will need 1.5 to 2 times as much swerve. It is not as sweet as my sweetener.

    these look awesome but really do not like coconut flour do you know what the ratio would be for switching it to almond flour? Thanks

      You can't taste the coconut flour at all. But, if you really don't want to use it I would try using 1/2 cup almond flour to replace the 1/4 cup coconut flour.

    Could I make this nut free by subbing the almond flour for a nut free baking blend?

      I'm not sure the brownies would have the right texture with a baking blend. They may be more cake like. If that's ok with you make sure to come back and let me know how they turn out :)
