Introduction

Chocolate is already my love language, so for Valentine’s Day we went with all of it at once: a chocolate brownie, milk chocolate melted through the batter, and white chocolate over half the top.

The Chocolate

Two different chocolates do two different jobs here. ChocZero’s milk chocolate chips melt into the batter, and their white chocolate chips become the coating. The white chocolate melts smoothly enough to dip into, which is the part that matters when you want that clean half-and-half look.

The Flour

We use Wholesome Yum’s almond flour here. Any finely blanched almond flour will do the same job — what you want to avoid is almond meal, which is coarser and leaves a grainier brownie.

Let Them Cool Before You Dip

Let the brownies cool completely to room temperature before you cut and coat them. That is the step worth paying attention to.

Once they are cool, cut the pan into 12 squares, dip half of each brownie into the white chocolate, and add the sprinkles while that coating is still wet. Then give the chocolate time to set before serving.

The order is what matters here: cool first, decorate second.

Using Keto Sprinkles

Sprinkles are optional, but they are the thing that makes these look like Valentine’s Day rather than just brownies. Traditional sprinkles are mostly sugar, and sugar-free ones are rarely on a supermarket shelf, so this is an order-ahead item. Good Dee’s is the brand we buy; their plain sugar-free sprinkles are the ones to get if you only want one jar, and the pink glitter version is the Valentine’s one.

If you would rather not order ahead, the sprinkles in our keto birthday cake are unsweetened shredded coconut colored with a few drops of food coloring. They are still coconut, so they won’t have the crunch or the look of shop-bought sprinkles.

The Sweetener

Lakanto’s powdered monk fruit goes into the batter — powdered rather than granulated, so it dissolves into a batter this thick instead of leaving a faint grit behind.

Ingredients

For The Brownies

For The Coating

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Add the milk chocolate baking chips and butter to a microwave safe bowl, and heat at 30 second intervals until completely combined and melted.

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, sugar substitute, eggs, cocoa powder, vanilla and the chocolate mixture. Beat on high until well combined.

  5. Spread the batter evenly in a well greased 9x9 baking dish.

  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the edges are set and pulling very slightly from the sides of the pan and the center is just set — soft to the touch, but not wet or liquid. Let cool completely to room temperature before cutting.

    A toothpick that comes out completely clean usually means a brownie baked past fudgy, so a few moist crumbs clinging to it is the better sign. Wet batter on the toothpick is not — that one needs more time in the oven. The pan keeps cooking the center as it cools, and the cooling is not optional anyway, because the brownies have to be at room temperature before they are cut and dipped.

  7. Cut the brownies into 12 squares.

  8. Add the white baking chips and the coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds at a time until well combined and melted.

  10. Dip half of each brownie into the white chocolate mixture, and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet.

  11. While still wet, add the sprinkles to the coated part of each brownie.

  12. Allow the chocolate to set, and serve.
