Ingredients

For the Shortbread Base:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

For the Caramel Layer:

  • 1 1/2 cups pitted Medjool dates (soaked in warm water for 10 minutes)
  • 1/4 cup almond butter (or cashew butter)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

For the Chocolate Layer:

  • 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (or a chopped dark chocolate bar)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

Prepare the Shortbread Base:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.
  • Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, creating a flat, even layer.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Make the Caramel Layer:

  • Drain the soaked dates and place them in a food processor or high-speed blender.
  • Add the almond butter, melted coconut oil, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. The mixture should be thick and sticky, resembling caramel.
  • Spread the date caramel evenly over the cooled shortbread base.
  • Place the pan in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up the caramel layer.

Prepare the Chocolate Layer:

  • In a small pot combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Warm on low heat, stirring constantly until chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the firm caramel layer, spreading it evenly.

Set and Serve:

  • Place the pan back in the freezer for another 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
  • Once set, remove from the pan using the parchment paper and cut into bars.
  • Store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They can also be kept in the freezer for a firmer texture.
