Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Crunchy Hazelnut Butter (270g)
  • 1 cup Coconut Flour (150g)
  • 1/3 cup Granulated Monk Fruit (75g)
  • 1/3 cup Coconut Oil, melted (70g)
  • 1 tsp pure Vanilla Extract (5g)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (1g)
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt (0.5g)
  • 1/4 cup Cacao Nibs (30g)
  • 3.5oz 100% Dark Chocolate Bar (100g)
  • 1/4 cup Creamy Cashew Butter (80g)
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil (25g)
  • (Optional) extra sea salt and hemp hearts

Instructions

  1. Prepare a 9×9″ pan by lining it with a sheet of parchment paper and set aside. 
  2. Combine the hazelnut butter, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer until a cohesive mixture forms. 
  3. Add in the coconut flour, monk fruit, cinnamon, and sea salt and beat again until a thick mixture forms.
  4. Transfer the hazelnut butter mixture into the prepared pan, pressing it evenly across the surface with your hands. Sprinkle the cacao nibs over the top of the mixture and place in the freezer for 10 minutes while you make the ganache. 
  5. For the chocolate ganache layer, melt the dark chocolate with the cashew butter and coconut oil by microwaving them for about 45 seconds at a time until a smooth ganache forms. 
  6. After the chocolate ganache is almost cooled to room temperature, pour it over the surface of the partially frozen hazelnut layer. Spread it out evenly using the back of a spoon. Sprinkle the top with extra sea salt and hemp hearts to decorate while the ganache is still melted. 
  7. Freeze for another 15 minutes before slicing and enjoy!

Notes

Store leftover bars in the refrigerator or freezer in an air tight container. 

Honey or maple syrup can be substituted for coconut oil in the ganache if dark chocolate isn’t your thing!
