Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups blanched almond flour (I use this brand)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 5 tablespoons low carb sweetener (I use this brand)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (I use this brand)
- 1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chips (I use this brand)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, mix the cream cheese with the egg until smooth.
- To the mixing bowl, add almond flour, peanut butter, heavy cream, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold the chocolate chips into the mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. The center might still be a little soft, but it will continue cooking as it cools.
- Let cool completely. Slice into 16 equal squares.
