Healthier Caramel Slice
This Healthier Caramel Slice is where my love for making traditionally indulgent treats in a better-for-you way began. These slices are not only delicious but also better than store-bought and with half the calories! Thank you all for following my journey and supporting my recipes—this one is my OG favorite ❤️
Ingredients
For the Base:
- ¾ cup almond meal 75g
- 40 g vegan salted caramel protein or caramelized white chocolate
- 25 ml coconut oil melted
- 2 tbsp rice malt syrup 30ml
For the Caramel Layer:
- ⅓ cup almond butter
- 35 ml rice malt syrup
- 35 ml coconut oil melted
- Pinch of Himalayan salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Topping:
- 75 g low sugar chocolate
- ½ tsp coconut oil
Instructions
Prepare the Base:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond meal, vegan salted caramel protein (or caramelized white chocolate), melted coconut oil, and rice malt syrup. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture evenly into a lined loaf tin, ensuring a compact and even layer.
Make the Caramel Layer:
- In a food processor or mixing bowl, blend the almond butter, rice malt syrup, melted coconut oil, Himalayan salt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the caramel mixture over the prepared base, spreading it evenly. Place the tin in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour until the caramel layer is set.
Prepare the Chocolate Topping:
- Melt the low sugar chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave or over a double boiler until smooth and well combined.
- Once the caramel layer has set, pour the melted chocolate over the top, spreading it evenly.
Chill and Serve:
- Return the tin to the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate layer to set.
- Once set, cut the slice into 12 squares. Store the slices in a sealed container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- You can use sugar-free maple syrup as a substitute for rice malt syrup if preferred.
- For the chocolate topping, Vitawerx or Lindt No Sugar chocolate works great.
