2 cups almond flour

1/2 cup grass-fed butter

Instructions

  • *Keto Low-Carb Powerhouse Granola Link
  • Preheat oven to 400F.  Prepare a springform pan with parchment.  To make the crust, in a bowl combine granola and coconut oil.  Mix well.  Add mixture to the bottom of the springform pan.  Press granola into a crust, evenly across the bottom.  Transfer pan to the refrigerator to harden.
  • To make the filling, in a food processor add all filling ingredients and blend until creamy.  Transfer mixture to the springform pan.  Smooth top.  Bake for 60 minutes until golden and when checked with toothpick, it comes out of the cake clean.  Remove cake from oven and let cool for at least an hour.
  • To make the topping, in a pan add butter.  Melt chocolate on low heat.   Add sweetener.  Mix well.  Add chocolate.  Stir the mixture on low until chocolate has melted.  Remove from heat.
  • Pour chocolate into pan over cake. Smooth. Add pecans. Press pecans into soft chocolate. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours.  Serve.

Notes

  • The recipe is based on the keto version (with almond crust) and is approximate only.  One serving has 8.2 net carbs.  We don’t count the carbs from your sweetener.  The reason is that fibre and sugar alcohols, like erythritol, are the main ingredient in sweeteners, such as Swerve.  This does not  affect blood sugar in the same way that regular (impact) carbs do, you can subtract all or some of them from the total carb count in a serving of food.
  • (Note: The nutritional information provided is a courtesy and is approximate only.  We cannot guarantee the nutritional accuracy of any recipe on this site.  We cannot know what brands you use or how accurately you follow the recipe or what you like to add creatively to the dish. Use the information as a general guideline only.) 
  • You may want to substitute the raw cashews for firm tofu. Tofu is super low in carbs compared to the carbs in cashews.
