Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour

- 0.5 cup Butter
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder

- 1 Egg
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Confectioners erythritol sweetener
- 5 ounces Dark chocolate (90% cacao), chopped
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, and erythritol sweetener for the base.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Allow it to cool slightly, then whisk in vanilla extract and the egg until combined.
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until incorporated.
Press the mixture evenly into an 8x8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Bake the base for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
For the filling, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then add heavy cream, and confectioners erythritol. Beat until light and fluffy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled base layer and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until glossy and smooth.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the chilled filling, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the bars until the chocolate layer is set, about 1 hour.
Once set, use a sharp knife to slice the bars into squares, wiping the knife clean between cuts for neat edges.
Serve and enjoy your delicious low carb Nanaimo bars.
