I give the credit to my friend Suzana who found this recipe online, and let me addapt it to our needs:)
Ingredients:
- For the base:
100 g ground almonds
60 g ground coconut
4 tablespoons soft or melted coconut oil at low temperature
1 teaspoon high-quality vanilla extract (sugar-free)
A pinch of Himalayan salt
About 10 drops of high-quality stevia or monk fruit (see explanation above)
- For the "caramel":
150 gr. almond butter
50 gr. melted coconut oil
1 tsp. high-quality vanilla extract
A pinch of Himalayan salt
About 7 drop of stevia
- Topping:
100 gr. dark chocolate (at leats 85%)
Method:
- Mix the base ingredients and spread in a pan that has been greased with a little coconut oil. Using the palm of your hand or the base of a glass, press the bottom so that it is firm.
- In a separate bowl, mix the caramel ingredients and pour over the base
- Place in the refrigerator for about two hours until everything is set.
- Melt the chocolate and pour over the caramel. Move the mold so that the chocolate covers everything well.
- Place in the refrigerator to harden
- If you have trouble cutting the squares elegantly, you can prepare a container with boiling water nearby and dip the knife in the boiling water, immediately wrap it in a clean towel and cut with the hot knife. Usually the first cubes are a little less pretty because you have to extract them, but most of the mold can be cut nicely.
- Can be kept for a week or more in a closed container in the refrigerator.
