With a blend of cream cheese, Swerve Confectioners sweetener, and the delightful crunch of chocolate chips, these bars redefine the boundaries of guilt-free indulgence.
The Brownie Base: To create the perfect brownie base, a stand mixer is employed to blend cream cheese, an egg, Swerve Confectioners sweetener, vanilla extract, and vanilla liquid stevia. This luscious blend ensures a creamy and rich foundation for the bars.
Dry Ingredients Blend: In a separate bowl, a medley of dry ingredients, including almond flour and cocoa powder, is whisked together. This dry mixture is then incorporated into the wet ingredients, resulting in a harmonious union of flavors and textures.
Chocolate Chip Bliss: No brownie is complete without the irresistible allure of chocolate chips. Gently stirred into the batter, these chocolate chips add pockets of delightful sweetness and decadence to each bite.

Swirling Symphony: Assembling the bars involves pouring layers of brownie batter and cheesecake topping into a greased baking dish. A delicate swirling technique with a butterknife creates an artistic fusion of flavors, ensuring that each bar is a symphony of chocolate and creaminess.
Optional Chocolate Decadence: For those seeking an extra layer of indulgence, the recipe offers the option to decorate the bars with chunks or chips of sugar-free or 85% dark chocolate. This addition elevates the visual appeal and adds a hint of sophisticated chocolate flavor.
