Ingredients
CRUST: 2 cups almond meal ½ cup natvia sweetener (or similar granulated sweetener) 1½ tblsp coconut flour 4½ tblsp butter, melted 1 tsp vanilla essence FILLING: ¾ cup pure cream 1/3 cup natvia sweetener (or similar granulated sweetener) 85g dark chocolate (min. 70% cocoa), chopped ½ tsp vanilla essence ¼ tsp xanthan gum
Method
Preheat oven to 170°C f/forced and grease and line base of square 20cm tin with non-stick baking paper. 1. Place almond meal, sweetener and coconut flour in a large bowl and stir to combine well, ensuring no lumps. 2. Add melted butter and vanilla and combine until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. 3. Press approx two thirds of the mixture into the prepared baking pan and bake for 10 minutes until just golden on the edges (not cooked through). 4. Prepare filling by placing cream and sweetener in a medium saucepan over low heat until just starting to simmer. Remove from heat, add chopped chocolate and whisk together until melted and smooth. 5. Stir vanilla through chocolate mixture then sprinkle xanthan gum on top and whisk again to combine fully. 6. Pour the chocolate mixture over the crust and spread gently to cover edges. 7. Sprinkle the top of slice evenly with remaining crumble mixture. 8. Bake further 20-25 minutes until topping is golden brown. 9. Allow to cool before slicing as filling will become firm as it cools.
