Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 4 oz Unsweetened baking chocolate
- 0.75 cup Granulated erythritol or other low-carb sweetener
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and unsweetened baking chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated erythritol, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
Slowly stir the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until fully incorporated.
Add the almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt to the chocolate mixture, stirring until just combined to form a smooth batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft. Avoid overbaking.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
To prepare the frosting, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until it just starts to simmer, then remove from heat.
Stir in the sugar-free chocolate chips until smooth and creamy, allowing it to cool until it thickens slightly.
Once the brownies have cooled, spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the top.
Cut the brownies into 16 squares and serve. Enjoy your low-carb treat!
