What You'll Need
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) light margarine
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 3/4 cup sugar blend sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup egg substitute
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 (8-ounce) package light cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
- 2 cup sugar-free frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free strawberry jam, warmed
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan and an 8-inch round pan with cooking spray.
- Place melted margarine in a large bowl; add cocoa and stir until well blended. Add sugar blend and 1 teaspoon vanilla; mix well. Stir in egg substitute. Add flour, baking powder, and salt; stir until combined. Spread batter evenly into both baking pans.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean; let cool completely.
- Without cutting, remove whole brownie from square pan and place diagonally on a large platter. Without cutting, remove whole brownie from round pan and place on cutting board. Cut circle brownie in half and place halves on the platter with the flat sides against the top sides of the diagonal, forming a heart shape.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and whipped topping until smooth. Spread whipped topping mixture evenly over brownie heart, then arrange the strawberries evenly over the topping. Brush lightly with strawberry jam. Cut and serve, or cover and chill until ready to serve.
