  • Total Time: 2 hours 35 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Shortbread

  • 2 tablespoons Wholesome allulose, granulated
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Caramel

  • 1 cup Wholesome allulose, granulated
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Chocolate

  • 6 ounces sugar-free chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Shortbread Layer: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine all shortbread ingredients: granulated allulose, softened butter, almond flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Mix well until evenly combined. Press the shortbread mixture firmly and evenly into the lined pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until the top starts to turn a light golden color. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  2. Make Caramel Layer: While the shortbread bakes, combine the heavy cream and 1 cup allulose in a medium-large saucepan. Heat over high heat, whisking continuously and watching closely to prevent boiling over. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens, turns a golden brown color, and reduces by half—this will take approximately 10 to 20 minutes depending on your stove and pot size. In the last minute of cooking, whisk in vanilla extract if using. Remove from heat and allow the caramel to cool for 10-15 minutes, then pour it evenly over the baked shortbread layer.
  3. Create Chocolate Layer: Place sugar-free chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until softened and smooth. Add the butter or coconut oil and whisk together until creamy and fully combined. Pour the chocolate evenly over the caramel layer. Gently shake or tilt the pan side to side to help the chocolate spread evenly.
  4. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the layered slice for 2 to 3 hours or until the chocolate is firm and set. Once chilled, slice into 16 pieces. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • The caramel mixture requires close attention to avoid boiling over—whisk constantly and monitor the heat.
  • Use parchment lining to easily lift the slice out of the pan for cutting.
  • You can substitute coconut oil for butter in the chocolate layer if preferred.
  • Ensure the caramel is cooled slightly before pouring chocolate on top to prevent mixing layers.
  • Store the caramel slice refrigerated to keep the layers firm and prevent melting.
