Brownie Base
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare a circular pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper and coating lightly with oil or nonstick spray.
  2. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add baking chocolate, cocoa powder, cream cheese, and heavy cream. Stir until chocolate is melted and ingredients are well combined, then remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Combine eggs, sweetener, vanilla, and sugar-free syrup in a bowl. Add coconut flour and baking powder, and stir until there are no lumps. Add chocolate mixture to the bowl and stir until well combined. Stir in nuts, if desired.
  4. Pour about 2/3 of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and set aside.
