  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

  2. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add cream cheese and stir until smooth.
  3. Gradually add powdered erythritol, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  4. Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 20 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before removing from the pan.
