Instructions

Make the Brownie Base

Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F degrees.
Melt the chocolate and butter in a bain marie or microwave.
Remove from the heat and stir until the mixture is smooth
Add the monkfruit sweetener and whisk until combined.
Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract.
Add the coconut flour and cocoa and whisk until the mixture is smooth and even in colour.
Spoon the brownie mixture into a greased, parchment lined spring form cake tin (I use a 8 inch size)
Bake for 20-25 minutes until slightly firm. Be careful not to overcook the brownie base.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Make the Peppermint Topping

In a medium bowl, whisk the cream until thick peaks are formed.
In another medium beat the cream cheese until smooth (I use an electric whisk).
Add in the monkfruit sweetener and whisk until combined.
Add in the peppermint extract and green colouring and mix.
Fold in the whipped cream until you have an even colour.
Gently stir in the chocolate chips.
Spoon the mixture over the brownie base and smooth evenly.
Place in the fridge for at least one hour to firm (I left mine in the fridge overnight).
Decorate with whipped cream (optional) or drizzle with chocolate.
