Keto Almond Joy Bars Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 1 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil

For the Coconut Filling:

• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/3 cup powdered Swerve sweetener (or other keto-friendly sweetener)
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon milk of choice (almond, coconut, or heavy cream)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Topping:

• 3 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate, chopped
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Equipment:

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Mixing bowl
• Spatula
• Small saucepan (optional)
• Double boiler (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the crust: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the melted coconut oil and mix until a crumbly dough forms. Press the dough evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
3. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until just set and slightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
4. Make the coconut filling: While the crust cools, in a saucepan over low heat (or using a double boiler), melt the coconut oil. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded coconut, Swerve sweetener, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
5. Spread the coconut filling evenly over the cooled crust.
6. Top each bar with a whole almond.
7. Make the chocolate topping: In a small saucepan over low heat (or using a double boiler), melt the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil together, stirring constantly, until smooth and glossy.
8. Pour the melted chocolate over the bars, ensuring they are evenly coated.
9. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
10. Once set, cut the bars into desired sizes and enjoy!
