- Cookie dough:
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- ¾ cup Monk Fruit, or sugar free sweetener of your choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon almond milk
- 3 cups almond flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup sugar free chocolate chips
- Chocolate layer:
- 2 cups sugar free chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
In a medium bowl, add butter, sugar, almond milk and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
Add the almond flour and stir again. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Line a 6’’x 6’’ baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter in the pan and press with fingers until the bottom is all covered.
For the chocolate ganache, melt the chocolate chips:Microwave option: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Put the bowl of chocolate chips into the microwave for 30 seconds on high power. Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the chocolate. Place the bowl back for another 30 seconds on high power. After this, keep microwaving the chocolate chips on high power for 10-second increments, stirring in between every time until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.Stove option (the one I use): To melt chocolate on the stovetop, place the chopped chocolate in the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water. This method keeps the chocolate away from direct heat, which allows it to melt at a low enough temperature to prevent scorching and separating. Add the melted coconut oil and whisk until combined.
Pour the melted chocolate over the cookie dough and refrigerate for a few hours (2-4), or until the ganache is hard enough to be sliced.
Cut into 9 bars. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator.
I used Lily's sugar free chocolate chips in semi-sweet, but you can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, the possibilities are endless. Use whatever you like the best and whatever you already have in the house to make it easy.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
Store in the freezer by wrapping in parchment paper and placing in an airtight container or plastic bag for up to 3 months.
