Ingredients

For the Crust

1 cup almond flour
½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
2 tablespoons powdered low-carb sweetener
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
Pinch of salt

For the Chocolate Silk Filling

1 cup full-fat coconut cream
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup powdered low-carb sweetener
2 tablespoons almond butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings

Dark chocolate shavings
Toasted coconut flakes
Chopped almonds
Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

Line an 8-inch square baking dish or loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides. This will make it easy to remove the bars once they are fully chilled.

Set the prepared pan aside while you make the crust.

Step 2: Make the Crust

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, sweetener, and salt.

Pour in the melted coconut oil and stir until the mixture resembles moist crumbs. When pressed between your fingers, it should hold together easily.

Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and press it firmly into an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup to compact the crust.

Place the pan in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

Step 3: Create the Chocolate Silk Filling

In a large mixing bowl, add the coconut cream, cocoa powder, sweetener, almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt.

Using a hand mixer or whisk, blend everything together until the mixture becomes smooth, glossy, and completely lump-free.

The filling should resemble a thick chocolate mousse. If it appears too firm, allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before mixing again.

Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if desired.
