PREP TIME: 10 MINS COOK TIME: 30 MINS TOTAL TIME: 40 MINS
INGREDIENTS:
Crust:
1 cup almond flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Condensed Milk:
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup Swerve Brown Sugar (you can also use any granulated erythritol)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Top Layer Fillings:
9 oz bag dark chocolate chips
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup pecan pieces
INSTRUCTIONS
For the crust:
1. Preheat oven to 300° F.2. In a medium bowl mix together the crust ingredients until a ball of dough forms. Press the dough into an 8 inch cast iron skillet. Poke a few small holes in the crust with a fork. Bake for 20 minutes until slightly golden.
For the condensed milk:
1. place all ingredients in a tall sided pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling continue to boil for 5 minutes stirring frequently. After 5 minutes it should have reached the consistency of condensed milk or a thick caramel sauce. Set aside to cool.
To assemble:
1. Place the pecan pieces, coconut, and chocolate chips on top of the crust. Pour over the condensed milk and return to oven for 5-7 minutes. 2. Allow to cool completely in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes before cutting into bars.
NOTE: Some folks have mentioned that their sauce just sits on top like a crust. If this happens your “condensed milk” probably cooked just a little too long. No worries though, just mix the sauce into the toppings a bit before placing back in the oven so that everything mixes together.
