Servings: 16 bars
Ingredients:
• For the Crust:
• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the Filling:
• 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
• 1 (14-ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk (refrigerated overnight)
• 1/4 cup erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, erythritol, and vanilla extract. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven.
3. Create the Filling: Open the can of refrigerated coconut milk and scoop out the solid coconut cream that has risen to the top. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut cream, erythritol, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and slightly thickened.
4. Assemble the Bars: Sprinkle the baked crust with chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts. Pour the warm coconut cream mixture evenly over the top.
5. Bake: Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the filling is set.
6. Cool and Chill: Allow the bars to cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set completely before slicing into bars.
