Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter cubed
  • 8 oz unsweetened chocolate cubed
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sweetener
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • salt a pinch

Equipment

  • Microwave
  • Two bowls
  • 8x8 pan

Method
 

  1. Microwave the butter and chocolate in a large bowl at 50% power in 30-second bursts, stirring, until mostly melted. Let residual heat finish it.
  2. Beat the cream cheese smooth in a separate bowl, then whisk it into the warm chocolate until glossy.
  3. Sift in the powdered sweetener, vanilla, and salt. Stir until fully dissolved, warming 10 seconds more if thick.
  4. Spread in a parchment-lined 8x8 pan and refrigerate until firm. Cut into 16 squares.

Notes

Oily sheen means you overheated; whisk in a tablespoon or two of room-temperature heavy cream to re-emulsify.
Grainy? The sweetener didn't dissolve — warm 10 seconds and stir longer, or use a powdered allulose blend.
Smooth the cream cheese first or it stays lumpy.
