Salted Macadamia Caramel Bowl

The recipe makes 1 serving.

Ingredients:

Base:
1 scoop HLTH Code Chocolate
2 Tbsp almond flour
1 Tbsp coconut flour
2 Tbsp almond butter
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or more if needed)
Pinch of salt

Low-Carb Caramel Topping:
1 Tbsp monk fruit sweetener
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp heavy cream or coconut cream
¼ tsp vanilla extract
Flaky sea salt, to taste

Optional Toppings:
A sprinkle of cacao nibs
Coconut flakes
Ground flaxseed

Instructions:

In a bowl, combine HLTH Code Chocolate, almond flour, coconut flour, and almond butter. Gradually add almond milk, stirring until a thick, dough-like consistency forms. Press the mixture into a small serving bowl. Chill while making the caramel.

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the sweetener and butter. Stir until the sweetener melts and blends smoothly with the butter.

Add heavy cream or coconut cream and stir for 20-30 seconds until the mixture becomes silky and slightly thickened.

Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and add a pinch of flaky sea salt.

Spoon the warm caramel over the base and add the optional toppings. 

Enjoy!
