The search is over! This Keto caramel slice hits all the spots, with a buttery, biscuity base, a salty caramel and a decadent dark chocolate ganache. Small squares are essential, this is RICH and calorie heavy!
Preheat the oven to 180C / 356F and line a 20cm x 20cm tin with baking paper (or a half size if you are making a smaller batch)
Combine the base ingredients well and press firmly into the tin in an even layer.
Bake for 10 - 12 minutes until just turning golden at the edges.
Caramel
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter and xylitol over medium-low heat.
Continue melting, stirring occasionally, until it is a dark golden brown colour. The darker you get it - without burning - the richer the caramel taste will be.
Once golden brown, stir in the heavy cream and simmer, stirring regularly, for a further 7-10 minutes until the caramel has thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
Let the caramel stand for about 15 minutes to cool, before pouring over the base. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until the caramel is set.
Chocolate Ganache
Once the caramel and base is completely cooled, prepare the ganache. Chop the chocolate roughly and put In a microwave safe ceramic or glass bowl with the cream.
Microwave on 50% power for 1 - 2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds until the chocolate begins to melt. Continue stirring out of the microwave until it is evenly combined and glossy. Watch the microwave very closely to ensure it doesn't burn.
Spread the ganache over the caramel and refrigerate until set. Cut into small squares.
Keep refrigerated or chop into small squares and freeze individually wrapped.
