Ingredients
Scale
- 1 recipe keto brownies, omit the chocolate chips
- 4 ounces (113.4 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (113.5 g) butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (62.5 g) Swerve Confectioners
- 1 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
- 3 ounces (85.05 g) keto white chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 3 ounces (85.05 g) dark chocolate chips, sugar-free
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 sugar-free peppermint candies, crushed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and grease a 9×9 inch metal baking pan.
- Prepare the brownie batter as directed and pour into the prepared pan, spreading to the edges. Bake about 15 minutes, until the edges are set but the center still seems a tiny bit wet. Remove and let cool completely in the pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until creamy and smooth. Beat in the sweetener until well combined, then beat in the extracts.
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine the white chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in short 30 second bursts, stirring in between until smooth.
- With the beaters running on low, slowly drizzle the melted white chocolate into the frosting until all of it is combined.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the brownies in the pan. Then refrigerate until firm.
- In another microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate and butter. Heat in short 30 second bursts, stirring in between until smooth.
- Spread the chocolate mixture over the frosting, all the way to the edges. Sprinkle with crushed sugar-free peppermint candies or keto sprinkles.
Notes
- Storage Information: Store the brownies in a covered container in the fridge for up to 10 days or in the freezer for several months.
- Sweetener Options: You should be able to use the sweetener you like best in the brownies, but it may change the texture a little. Allulose and BochaSweet make them much softer and they may take longer to bake. You need a confectioner’s style sweetener for the frosting. Again, allulose and BochaSweet may make it less firm, especially when warm.
