Chocolate Toffee Millionaire Shortbread
Layers of decadent flavor are rich enough to give a “millionaire” feel to this classic dessert.
Ingredients
Shortbread:
- 1serving Chocolate Toffee Keto Chow
- 1/2cupalmond flour
- 1/4cupgranulated erythritol
- 1/2cupunsalted buttercold, cubed
Caramel:
- 1/4cupunsalted butter
- 3oz.granulated allulose
- 2Tbsp.heavy creamslightly warm
Chocolate:
- 1cupsugar-free bittersweet chocolatechopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325℉. Oil an 8.5 x 4-inch glass loaf pan and line it with tin foil or parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the long sides to create handles to lift the finished bars out later.
- To make the shortbread, combine the Keto Chow, almond flour, and erythritol in a mixing bowl and cut in the butter until a firm dough is formed.
- Press the dough into the bottom of the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until it is firm and golden around the edges. The center may still look slightly soft, but it will set as it cools.
- While the shortbread layer cools, make the caramel. Place the butter and the allulose in a nonstick skillet or small saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally until they melt together, turn golden, and look smooth and glossy.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the warm cream. The mixture will be extremely hot, so be careful.
- Place it back over the heat and cook for another two to three minutes.
- Allow the caramel to cool for a few minutes, then pour it over the shortbread; spread it to the edges as evenly as possible.
- Refrigerate to set for at least two hours.
- When the caramel is set, gently heat the chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler, until it is melted and smooth. Don’t overheat it or it won’t look smooth and glossy.
- Spread the melted chocolate over the cold caramel, smoothing to the edges of the pan.
- Return the pan to the refrigerator to set for at least one hour.
- To serve, allow the chocolate to come to room temperature for about 20 minutes. If the chocolate is too cold, it will crush the layers underneath when the bars are cut.
- Use the tin foil or parchment paper to lift the shortbread out of the pan.
- Use a large, sharp knife to cut 16 slices, wiping the knife between cuts to keep the bars looking neat.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Notes
*This recipe really does need two different sweeteners for best results. Erythritol keeps the shortbread layer crisp, and allulose makes a caramel that stays smooth.
