Ingredients

• 200 grams Almond flour
• 100 grams Butter, unsalted
• 30 grams Granulated Stevia
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 60 grams Cream cheese
• 200 ml Heavy cream
• 50 grams Butter, unsalted (for caramel)
• 120 ml Sugar-free maple syrup
• 200 grams Dark chocolate, sugar-free
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

To make the shortbread base, melt 100 grams of butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and mix in the almond flour, 30 grams of granulated Stevia, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Press the almond flour mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow it to cool completely.

Step 4

For the caramel-like middle layer, in a saucepan over medium heat, combine 200 ml of heavy cream, 60 grams of cream cheese, 120 ml of sugar-free maple syrup, and 50 grams of butter. Stir until all ingredients are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Increase heat slightly and bring the mixture to a mild simmer, stirring frequently for about 10 minutes until it thickens.

Step 6

Pour the caramel mixture over the cooled shortbread base, spreading it evenly. Place the dish in the refrigerator to set for at least 30 minutes.

Step 7

For the chocolate topping, melt 200 grams of sugar-free dark chocolate with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth.

Step 8

Pour the melted chocolate over the set caramel layer, smoothing out with a spatula to create an even layer.

Step 9

Chill the millionaire's shortbread in the refrigerator until the chocolate layer is firm, which should take about 1 hour.

Step 10

Once set, remove the shortbread from the dish, cut it into squares, and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
