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.
