Keto Marbled Cheesecake

I am a sucker for desserts, so I have been working on making a Keto Marbled cheesecake. The first attempt wasn’t that great, but this second one was really good. I got the surprised look and nod of approval from Grant so that has to be good. 🙂

They actually look pretty too!

For the crust, I ground up hazelnuts and almonds because I had them on hand, and prefer a more chunky crust, but you can always use almond meal if you prefer that.

All ground up, and I just put the extra in a tupperware container until I use it up.

Soften butter for the crust.

Add the ground up almonds or almond meal.

Mix up and set aside.

In a separate bowl, make the Brownie “mix” by adding an egg and butter.

Add cocoa.

Milk and a little bit of almond meal.

Swerve  sweetener and a little bit of peanut butter.

I also added a dash of Waldens Farm Syrup, then mix well and set aside.

I like to use these Silicone Baking Cups cause they are much easier to clean than a muffin tin and take up less space.

In another bowl, we are making the cheesecake filling starting with 2 eggs.

Two softened bricks of cream cheese.

Splenda (in cheesecake it doesn’t have any after taste to me.)

Add a dash of vanilla and mix up.

Place a dollop of crust in each of the 12 muffin tins.

Pat down as best as you can.

Next add a spoonful of cheesecake filling.

Then a spoon full of brownie mix, and give a small twirl.

Top each with the remaining cheesecake mixture.

Swirl and level out.

I ended up having a lot of the brownie mixture left over, but below I have halved the recipe since that is closer to what is actually needed.

Bake.

Let them cool cause warm cheesecake is gross.

Enjoy!

The carb count is around 4 net carbs depending on what sweeteners you add to the recipe. Also this cheesecake recipe is my favorite so if you don’t want to marble it just make the crust and cheesecake filling. When making it plain, I like to add around 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for extra flavor.
