Ingredients
Crust
- 1 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp salt
Turtle Layer:
- 1/2 cup coconut cream (or hard part on top of chilled coconut milk can)
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1.5 cups chopped pecans
- 1.5 cups chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line 8×8 brownie pan with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until well combined.
- Form into bottom of pan. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, start making caramel by adding coconut cream, coconut sugar, coconut oil, and salt in a medium sauce pan. Turn head on medium and stir consistently.
- Once caramel comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and stir constantly for 10-15 minutes or until thickened. It will thicken with time over low heat, but will burn on high heat!
- Once caramel has thickened, turn off heat and add vanilla.
- Pour caramel over crust. Immediately add chopped pecans.
- Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in microwave in 30 second increments. Once melted, pour over pecans and spread until smooth and even.
- Let chill in freezer for at least 1 hour before cutting into. Store in fridge.
