Ingredients
- 300 grams Whole wheat flour
- 10 grams Baking powder
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Erythritol (granulated)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams Apricot jam (sugar-free)
- 200 grams Hazelnuts, finely chopped
- 150 grams Almonds, finely chopped
- 100 ml Heavy cream
- 100 grams Erythritol (powdered)
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (sugar-free)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10x14-inch baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour and baking powder. Cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Add granulated erythritol, eggs, and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms, then press it evenly into the prepared baking tray.
Step 4
Spread a thin layer of sugar-free apricot jam over the dough.
Step 5
In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream and powdered erythritol. Heat over low until the erythritol has dissolved. Stir in chopped hazelnuts and almonds.
Step 6
Spread the nut mixture evenly over the apricot jam layer.
Step 7
Bake the Nussecken for about 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the pan.
Step 8
Once cooled, cut into squares and then cut each square diagonally to form triangles.
Step 9
Melt the sugar-free dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler.
Step 10
Dip the corners of each Nussecken triangle into the melted chocolate and place on a wire rack to set.
Step 11
Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature before serving.
