Ingredients
  

For the Base

  • 1 cup Almond Flour
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
  • 1/2 cup Finely Chopped Walnuts
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1/4 cup Powdered Erythritol
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 large Egg, Beaten
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

For the Custard Layer

  • 1/2 cup Butter, Softened
  • 1 cup Powdered Erythritol
  • 2 tbsp Heavy Cream
  • 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Salt

For the Chocolate Top

  • 2/3 cup Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 2 tbsp Butter

Equipment

  • electric mixer

Instructions
 

  • Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper. Toast the almond flour and shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly golden. Transfer to a bowl and add the walnuts.
  • Melt 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan over low heat and whisk in the cocoa powder, erythritol and salt until smooth. Remove from the heat for 1 minute, then quickly whisk in the beaten egg.
    Return to low heat and stir for 1 to 2 minutes, until it thickens like pudding. Stir in the vanilla.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture over the toasted crumbs and stir until evenly moistened. Press firmly into the pan and chill for 20 minutes.
  • For the custard layer, beat the softened butter for 2 minutes until pale. Add the powdered erythritol, heavy cream, vanilla and salt and beat until fluffy and smooth.
  • Spread the custard layer over the chilled base and chill for 30 minutes, until firm to the touch.
  • Melt the chocolate chips with 2 tbsp butter in 30-second bursts, stirring until glossy. Let cool for 5 minutes so it does not melt the custard layer.
  • Pour the chocolate over the top and tilt the pan to cover evenly. Chill for 1 hour until set.
  • Let the bars sit at room temperature for 10 minutes so the chocolate does not crack, then slice into 16 bars.
