Keto Hazelnut Mocha Brownie

Calling all brownie lovers! These delicious keto-friendly hazelnut mocha brownies are to good to be true! This recipe by @4theloveofcake using our KetoCandyGirl Double Fudge Brownie Mix is the perfect guilt free snack. Here's what she did! 

Ingredients:

  • 1 bag KetoCandyGirl Double Fudge Brownie Mix  
  • 1 stick of butter completely melted 
  • 2 eggs 
  • Brewed espresso 2 oz or 1 tbsp instant 
  • 6-8 oz unsweetened almond milk
  • 3/4 cup hazelnuts
  • 1 tsp hazelnut extract 
  • 1 cup Choc Zero 
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Edible Flowers 

Here's what she did:

    1. Melt butter in a large proof bowl and set aside.
    2. Add 1 shot of espresso 2 oz into 6 oz of heated unsweetened almond milk (warm not steaming hot milk). You can also use espresso powder or instant coffee 1 tbsp into 8 oz of unsweetened almond milk. 
    3. Add mix to butter and stir well.
    4. Add almond milk mix into batter, stir well. Batter should not be hot, luke warm is okay.
    5. Lastly add eggs, stir until just incorporated.
    6. Add in 1/2-3/4 cup chopped hazelnuts.
    7. Pour into lined 8x8 pan ( I used parchment paper to make taking the brownies out easier)
    8. Bake at 350 degrees F for 18-22 minutes (depending on your oven)
    9. After baking set aside to cool.
    10.  For the hazelnut ganache, measure 1 cup of heavy cream heat in microwave (this you want to be hot not luke warm)
    11.  Add one cup of keto friendly chocolate chips to a bowl, pour hot heavy cream on top. Let that sit for 2 minutes.
    12. Stir Ganache to incorporate milk then add in your hazelnut extract. I used lorraine's super strength. 1 tsp.
    13.  Your ganache is ready when it has a smooth finish and you see no lumps.
    14. Pour ganache on top of brownies, let that cool for about 5 minutes. and add those edible flowers!
