Servings: 9 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 Recipe Theresa's Gooey Brownies or your favorite low-carb brownie recipe
Cream Cheese Layer
- 1 8 Ounce Block Cream Cheese softened
- 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 3 Tablespoons Gentle Sweet
Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 1 Can Full Fat Coconut Milk
- ¼ Cup Cocoa Powder
- ⅓ Cup Gentle Sweet
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ¼ Cup Water
- 2 Teaspoons Gelatin Just Gelatin or Knox
Homemade Whipped Topping
- 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 3-4 Tablespoons Gentle Sweet
Instructions
- Make Theresa's Gooey Brownies (or your favorite low-carb brownie recipe) I split the batter between two 8x8 pans and baked for about 20 minutes or so. You will only need one 8x8 pan of brownies for the remainder of this recipe. Cut the other pan into squares and freeze for later use!
Chocolate Pudding
- Combine canned coconut milk, cocoa powder, Gentle Sweet, and vanilla in a medium saucepan.
- Heat over medium heat, until warm and all ingredients are combined. (Whisk well with a whisk to prevent clumps.)
- Remove from heat.
- Sprinkle 2 Teaspoons of Gelatin over ¼ cup water and let sit for about 1 minute. Stir, then add to pudding mixture and mix well.
- Pour pudding into a shallow container.
- Place in the refrigerator to cool and thicken.
Cream Cheese Layer
- Beat softened cream cheese with heavy whipping cream and Gentle Sweet until well combined.
Homemade Whipped Topping
- Beat heavy whipping cream with Gentle Sweet until stiff peaks form. (About 2-3 minutes)
Assembling the dessert
- Spread cream cheese layer over cooled brownies.
- Pour slightly thickened pudding over the cream cheese layer, and put back in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or so.
- Spread whipped cream on top of pudding layer just before serving.
Notes
The filling/topping ingredients are for an 8x8 size pan. The brownie recipe linked above makes a 9x13. You can either make two 8x8's and save the other pan of brownies for later, or you can halve the brownie ingredients to only make one 8x8 pan.
The pudding will likely need to chill for 1-2 hours, so make it first, then the brownies. That way, by the time your brownies are cooled, your pudding will almost be ready!
One more note about the coconut milk - I linked to an Amazon product so you could see what I was talking about. But you can easily find coconut milk for less than $2 at your local WalMart. (It will likely be in the Asian section.)
