Keto Twix Cookies
Ingredients
Shortbread Cookie Base
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1/4 cup melted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Caramel Layer
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
- 3 tbsp butter (or coconut oil)
- 1/4 cup allulose or another keto-friendly sweetener (allulose works best for caramel texture)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Chocolate Layer
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional for smoother chocolate)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Shortbread Base
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir until a dough forms, then roll into 1-inch balls and flatten slightly on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden. Let the cookies cool completely before adding the caramel.
Step 2: Make the Caramel Layer
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, butter, and sweetener.
- Stir continuously and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens to a caramel consistency.
- Remove from heat, add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, and stir well.
- Allow the caramel to cool for a few minutes, then spoon a small amount onto each cooled cookie.
Step 3: Add the Chocolate Layer
- Melt the sugar-free chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Spoon the melted chocolate over the caramel layer on each cookie.
- Place the cookies in the fridge for about 30 minutes to set.
Tips
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Sweetener: Allulose is recommended for the caramel as it doesn’t crystallize, but erythritol or monk fruit can work too.
