Instructions
- Preheat oven to 360 °F (180 °C). Line an 8" x 8" (20 x 20 cm) square cake tin with parchment paper.
- Mix base ingredients in a medium mixing bowl; mix until well combined.
- Spread evenly over the base of the prepared cake tin. Bake for 8 minutes or until lightly golden on top. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the tin.
- In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, prepare the filling by melting the butter, adding the sweetener, and continuing to heat until the sweetener has dissolved. Add cream and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, stir continuously for 15-20 minutes until the sauce has thickened, reduced, and is caramel in color.
- Remove from heat, spread in an even layer over the cooled base. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
- Prepare the topping by placing chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe container. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring after each burst of heat, until completely melted.
- Top caramel with an even layer of chocolate. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours.
- When firm, cut into pieces.

For the topping, I used Bakers unsweetened chocolate and added erythritol-monkfruit.
I put the dessert in the freezer to freeze the caramel filling as I was not successful in thickening it. Any tip would be appreciated. (I used 35% heavy whipping cream)
You possibly didn't let the caramel simmer long enough, but it should firm up in the fridge or freezer.
Hi, Xander! Ideally it should thicken up, and it takes quite a long time. But if you don’t have the patience for it, it will still work since it firms up in the fridge.
