Ingredients

Shortbread:

Caramel:

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.
