Ingredients
Crust:
- 6 tbsp coconut flour
- 2 tbsp sugar-free sweetener
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 large egg
Filling:
- 2 cups fresh pecan pieces
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ⅔ cup sugar-free sweetener allulose recommended for best texture
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs room temp
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Combine all crust ingredients and stir until dough forms. Press dough evenly into bottom of pan. Bake crust for 7 minutes. Allow to cool.
- Begin preparing the filling: add butter to a saucepan over low-medium heat until melted. Add sweetener and stir until it dissolves.
- Add cream and salt - bring mixture to simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes golden and begins to thicken.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool before adding eggs.
- Whisk in room temperature eggs and vanilla.
- Add pecans on top of crust and spread out evenly. Pour filling mixture evenly over the pecans, then distribute chocolate chips evenly on top if desired.
- Bake for 29-33 minutes. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for 20 minutes before slicing. Refrigerate longer for firmer bars.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Sweetener Tips: For the crust, any sugar-free sweetener will work. For the filling, granulated allulose is highly recommended as it provides that classic texture and doesn't crystallize when chilled.
Chocolate Chips: Optional but delicious! If you skip the chocolate chips, you may want to add a bit more sweetener to the filling to compensate for the sweeteness of the chocolate chips.
