Perfect for fall these keto pumpkin cheesecake brownies have a fudgy brownie base with a creamy pumpkin cheesecake topping. I don’t know about you but I’ve always loved brownie mashups, in college I used to make brownies that had a cookie base, then the brownies, then raw cookie dough on top all covered by a layer of hard chocolate. Talk about a sugar crash, those were the days.
These low-carb brownies are much, much healthier (well, as healthy as a brownies can be) but absolutely have way less sugar and carbs. This recipe is based on Martina’s Fudgy Keto Brownies.
