Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder
Method
Step 1
Melt the chocolate chips in a heat proof glass in the microwave at 60 seconds. Use a small spoon to spread half of the melted chocolate all around the inside of each well of a rectangular mold. I used a mold with rectangles about three inches long and 1 inch deep. Set coated mold in freezer while you make layers.
Step 2
Mix the almond flour, half of the maple syrup and salt in a blender until smooth. Press into the mold wells and flatten.
Step 3
Add the shredded coconut to a blender, and process 3-4 minutes until you have coconut butter - it will about half as much as shredded coconut you added. To your creamy coconut butter, add the cacao butter and maple syrup. Spoon the caramel fudge layer on top of the cookie layer. Tap the mold to level the mixture. Freeze for 1 hour.
Step 4
Remove bars from mold carefully, while frozen, without breaking them. Microwave the chocolate again to melt and then spoon/spread the chocolate on the side of the bar that doesn't have chocolate.
Step 5
Don't Have A Mold? Double the recipe for a loaf pan! To make the recipe without a mold, follow these steps: Don't melt the chocolate yet. Instead, line an 8-inch by 4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and build the layers there, freeze as described, and cut into squares. Melt the chocolate now, and lower each square into it using a fork. Set the coated squares on a drying rack set over parchment or a dish to catch dripping chocolate. Freeze or refrigerate until solid.
