Ingredients
Scale
For the Nougat Layer:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (natural, no sugar added)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
For the Caramel Layer:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup brown erythritol or keto brown sweetener
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 3/4 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Other:
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix together almond flour, peanut butter, coconut oil, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt until a soft dough forms. Press the nougat mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Place in the freezer while you make the caramel.
- For the caramel, add cream, butter, and brown erythritol to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring frequently, for 10–12 minutes until thickened and golden. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter, vanilla, and salt. Let cool slightly, then pour over the chilled nougat layer. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top and return to the freezer for 30–45 minutes, or until firm.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Slice the chilled bar into individual pieces and dip or drizzle each with the melted chocolate. Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until set.
Notes
- Keep these stored in the fridge for best texture.
- For a dairy-free version, use full-fat coconut milk in place of cream and vegan butter.
