Ingredients

COOKIE CRUST LAYER

BROWNIE LAYER

TOPPING LAYER:

OPTIONAL PALEO CARAMEL SAUCE:

  • 1 cup canned coconut cream , be sure to only use brands (likeTrader Joe’sAroy-D) containing coconut milk & water. Do not use brands with Guar gum or other fillers or the ice cream will not turn out properly). If you don’t have coconut cream, you can also spoon out the thick part of a chilled can of full-fat coconut milk.
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar , sub with Lakanto golden monk fruit sweetener or preferred brown sugar substitute of choice for low carb / keto / lower sugar. Maple syrup or other liquid sweetener can also be used but you may have to adjust the amount depending on sweetness desired.
  • 2 tsps coconut oil  , use refined to avoid any coconut flavor or sub with vegan butter if not paleo
  • 1 1/2 tsps pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp flaky sea salt

Instructions

FOR THE COOKIE CRUST

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8'x8' baking dish.

    Add cookies to a food processor & pulse a few times until chopped. Add oil & process again until a crumb forms and the mixture holds together when pressed.

    Transfer to pan & press down firmly into an even layer.

    Bake for 12 minutes, or until firm. Remove from oven & cool while you make the brownies.

FOR THE BROWNIES:

  1. In a large bowl, melt 1/2 cup of the chocolate, almond butter & coconut oil over a double-boiler or in the microwave in 20 second increments, stirring well until chocolate is just melted & smooth.

    Remove from heat then whisk in coconut sugar, maple syrup & vanilla. Add eggs & whisk until incorporated.

    Stir in cocoa powder & almond flour until just combined. Fold in remaining chocolate.

    Spread batter over cooled cookie crust.

    Return pan to oven and bake at 325F for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
