Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan or line with parchment paper.

  • Whisk avocado oil and granular sweetener in a bowl. Add egg and yolk, beat well. Stir in vanilla.

  • In another bowl, sift almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry to wet, mix until combined. Add 1-2 tbsp water to get thick batter.

  • Spread batter in tart pan and bake 12-15 minutes until edges are set and toothpick comes out mostly clean. Cool completely.

  • Beat cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Add powdered sweetener and vanilla, mix well. Whip 3 tbsp cream to soft peaks, fold into peanut butter mixture.

  • Spread peanut butter filling over cooled brownie base. Chill.

  • Heat heavy cream and almond milk until hot (not boiling). Remove from heat, add chopped chocolate, powdered sweetener, and vanilla. Let sit 1 min, then stir until smooth.

  • Pour glaze over peanut butter layer. Whip remaining 3 tbsp cream to stiff peaks and optionally pipe/spread on top. Chill at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Swap peanut butter for almond/cashew butter for variety.

Use dark chocolate for a richer glaze.

Add chopped nuts or peanuts on top for crunch.

Substitute coconut cream for dairy-free version.

Add cinnamon or espresso powder to brownie for extra flavor.
