Low Fat Cheesecake Brownies

in Diana's Recipe Book

Average Rating:  (total ratings: 4)

Servings: Makes 32 brownies

Comments: Here's a tasty brownie recipe that is low-fat and is also a good choice for diabetics (just 19 grams of carbohydrates in each brownie). Using applesauce instead of oil or butter and using egg whites instead of whole eggs reduces the fat content in these goodies. This recipe also uses Neufchatel cheese. American neufchatel cheese is slightly lower in calories than regular cream cheese because of a lower milk fat content (about 23 percent). It also contains slightly more moisture.

Ingredients: 1 (19.5 oz.) package brownie mix 1/2 cup applesauce 3 egg whites, divided 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/4 cup water 1 (8 oz.) package neufchatel cheese (1/3 less fat than regular cream cheese), softened 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Mix together brownie mix, applesauce, 2 of the egg whites, vanilla extract and water. Pour into prepared baking pan. Mix neufchatel cheese, sugar, flour and remaining egg white until well blended. Spoon over brownie batter. Cut through batter with knife several times for a marbled effect. Bake in preheated oven for 28 to 30 minutes or until wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out with fudgy crumbs attached. Cool in pan on wire rack. When completely cooled, cut into 32 squares. Makes 32 brownies.

OK normally I have my own recipe for LOW carb stuff, but this should get you where you want to be for low carb brownies....  this is not my recipe and I don't know who's it is, so I wish I could give the credit!

Low Carb Torte:

1 pound sugar free chocolate, cut up
1 pound butter
1 cup whipping cream
1 cup splenda
9 eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla

Low Carb Topping:

1 cup whipping cream
12 ounces of sugar free chocolate


Grease bottom and sides of a 10-inch spring form pan and line a sheet pan with foil; set both aside. In a large heavy saucepan combine one pound of sugar free chocolate, the butter, 1 cup whipping cream and splenda. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until chocolate and butter are melted; remove from heat.

In a large bowl whisk eggs and vanilla together. Slowly stir half of the chocolate mixture into egg mixture. Return egg mixture to remaining low carb chocolate mixture, stirring until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan. Place pan on the lined baking sheet; place on oven rack.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until evenly puffed and a knife inserted near center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool thoroughly on a wire rack. Chill for several hours or until low carb torte is firm. Use a small metal spatula or knife to loosen torte from sides of pan; remove sides of pan.

For the topping: In a small saucepan heat the 1 cup of whipping cream to just boiling. Place 12 ounces of sugar free chocolate in a medium bowl. Add hot whipping cream and stir until chocolate is melted. Cool to room temperature. Spread over top of the low carb dessert, allowing some to drip down the sides. Cover and chill until set.

Let this delicious low carb torte dessert stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!!
