DIY Almond Flour Crust for a Chewy Caramel Slice

The almond flour crust is made the same way you would make a graham cracker crust, but with almond flour instead of graham crackers.

To make the crust, mix all the ingredients for it together in a bowl. The almond flour should be damp, but not soggy.

Next, cover a square baking pan with parchment paper and press the crust mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake the crust for about 15 minutes, or until it is golden brown, at 180C/350F.

Then allow the crust to cool to room temperature.

Nut-Free Crust Alternative

If you or someone else would love to try these caramel slices but are allergic to nuts try making the crust with our homemade coconut flour pie crust instead.

Make the Keto Caramel

The sugar-free caramel should be made while the crust is cooking in the oven.

To make the caramel, you will want to melt your butter and preferred brown sugar-free sweetener together on high heat in a skillet.

Once the brown sweetener is completely dissolved, slowly pour your heavy cream into the caramel while continuously stirring. The caramel will bubble up while you are pouring in the cream but will settle down as your stir.

Continue to gently stir your caramel on high heat until it thickens and slides off your utensil, about 15-20 minutes. Once the caramel has thickened, remove the caramel from the heat.

Mix in the vanilla and a pinch of salt before letting the caramel cool for about 10 minutes.

After the caramel has cooled, pour it over your crust, and spread out with the back of a spoon.

Next, place the whole baking pan in the refrigerator to allow your caramel to chill for at least 10 minutes.

Keto Caramel Slice Topped with Chocolate

After your caramel has chilled, you will make the chocolate topping. Before you begin, the caramel needs to be firm enough that you can spread the melted chocolate on top,

To make the chocolate topping, add your dark chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl or cup and melt in the microwave.

You will want to melt the chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring in-between, until the chocolate is smooth. My microwave melted the chocolate perfectly in 1 minute.

If you do not have a microwave you can melt the chocolate in a saucepan on the stove over low heat. Once the chocolate is melted pour the chocolate over the caramel and spread it out.

Your caramel slices will need to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before they are ready to cut.

Cutting and Storing Keto Caramel Slice

To cut the caramel slices, use the parchment paper, and lift your dessert out of the pan. Then cut the caramels into 16 squares. Next, cut each square in half to make 32 rectangular pieces.

To easily cut the slices, run your knife under hot water to heat it. This will make the knife slide through the chocolate and caramel without sticking.

The caramel slices should be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 7-14 days.
