Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup Butter
- 3 tablespoons Stevia (or your preferred sugar-free sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Sugar-free syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour and shredded coconut. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup of the butter and mix in 1 tablespoon of stevia. Stir until fully dissolved.
Remove the melted butter from the heat and add it to the almond flour mixture. Mix until evenly combined.
Press the almond flour mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish to form the base layer. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden, then let cool.
For the caramel layer, melt the remaining 1/2 cup of butter in the saucepan over medium heat.
Once melted, add 1 cup of heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of stevia, sugar-free syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir continuously.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and turns a rich caramel color.
If using, add the chopped nuts to the caramel mixture and stir to combine.
Pour the caramel mixture over the baked base, spreading evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set before cutting into squares.
Enjoy your sugar-free caramel squares as a delightful treat!
