Low Carb Keto Sex In a Pan

Ingredients:

Chocolate Crust:

1 1/4 cups almond flour

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/4 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup butter, melted

1 tbsp water

Cheesecake Layer:

1/4 cup Heavy cream

1/4 cup Powdered erythritol

1/2 tsp Vanilla extract

8 oz Cream cheese (softened)

Chocolate Pudding Layer:

1 cup Heavy cream

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

1/2 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener

4 large egg yolks

1/2 tsp xanthan gum

1/3 cup cocoa powder

3 tbsp butter, cut into 3 pieces

1/2 tsp Vanilla extract

Whipped Cream Topping:

1 1/2 cup Heavy cream

2 tbsp Powdered erythritol

1/2 tsp Vanilla extract

1 oz Sugar-free dark chocolate (shaved using a peeler, grate, or shaver; I use chocolate chips and a chopped in chopper)

Instructions:

Crust:

1. Preheat the oven to 325F. Line a 9x9" baking pan with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, and salt. Add the melted butter and water and stir until the mixture begins to clump together.

3. Press the mixtureevenly into the lined baking pan and bake about 15 minutes, or until golden and firm to touch. Set aside to cool.

Cream Cheese Layer:

1. While the crust is baking, make the cream cheese layer. Use a hand mixer to beat the cream, vanilla extract, and powdered erythritol together, until stiff peaks form. Gradually beat in the softened cream cheese, a bit at a time, until well combined.

2. Once the crust has cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture over it.

Chocolate Pudding Layer:

1. While the crust is cooling, make the chocolate pudding layer.

2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine almond milk, whipping cream and sweetener.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks back into the saucepan.

4. Reduce heat to medium-low and sprinkle the surface with the xanthan gum, whisking vigorously to combine. Whisk in cocoa powder and cook until thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove heat, then whisk in vanilla extract and butter pieces. Whisk until smooth.

5. Cool the chocolate pudding for 15 minutes and then spread over cheesecake layer. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Whipped Cream Topping:

1. Use hand mixer to beat the cream with sweetener and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the chocolate layer. Dust with cocoa powder (this works best through a fine sieve). Use a vegtable peeler or cheese slicer to shave chocolate over top.

2. Refrigerate for 1-2 more hours (or as long as needed until serving) to fully set.
