- 190 g butter
- 200 g coconut sugar (or Monk fruit for a lower carb option)
- 190 g dark chocolate (minimum 70%)
- 5 eggs
- 190 g almond meal (grind using PULSE in your OmniBlender)

Blackcurrant Delectability

- 1 tbsp coconut sugar (or Monk fruit powder)
- 1 tbsp cornflour (mixed with a little water)
Preheat oven to 160C & line a 23cm x 23cm tray with baking paper
Prepare the Blackcurrants
Simmer the blackcurrants & 1 tbsp coconut sugar until hot. Add cream cheese, stir until melted. Slowly pour in cornflour slurry to thicken (stirring constantly to avoid lumps).
Make the Brownies
Melt butter and chocolate together, add vanilla and mix well. Keep warm
Place all dry ingredients in a large bowl
In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the eggs
Mix the dry ingredients, melted chocolate and butter, and eggs. Stir until just combined.
Pour the mixture into the baking tin
Gently pour the blackcurrant-cream-cheese mix over the base and use a spoon to swirl carefully.
Bake for 35 minutes or until a skewer comes out (just) clean. Don’t overcook – its better under than over.
Serve, share, eat and enjoy!
