Recipes | August 05, 2016

LowCarbMixedBerryCashewBars

*Makes 9 small bars

Ingredients for the base:
1 1/2 cup cashews
1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 cup mixed berry jam*
2 tbsp Swerve (erythritol)

*Ingredients for the Mixed Berry Jam
2 cups frozen or fresh mixed berries
1/3 cup coconut cream (chill a can of coconut milk in the fridge and then use the thick part of the milk)
3 tbsp Swerve (erythritol)
1/4 tsp xanthan gum

Keep the left overs in the fridge and use on your breakfast crepes.

Ingredients for chocolate:
1/2 cup coconut manna
2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tbsp Swerve (erythritol)

Instructions

  1. Pulse the cashews with salt in a food processor until you get crumbs.
  2. Add the oil, jam and Swerve and mix until you get a dough.
  3. Press the dough into a smaller size baking dish or a tray so that you can form a half inch thick base for the bars.
  4. Mix the ingredients for chocolate in a bowl until completely smooth and then pour the chocolate over the top of the base and spread in an even layer.
  5. You can sprinkle the top with unsweetened coconut flakes and then place the tray in the freezer.
  6. Once the dough hardens, you can cut it into 9 smaller bars and keep them in the fridge for snack.

    Zuzka, in order to make the jam, should I heat everything in a pot?

      Magda, I looked at her crepe recipe, and the mixed berry jam are similar
      It says in the crepe recipe to do the following:

      1. Start with the berry jelly. Add the berries in a small sauce pan with coconut milk and bring to boil. Add the Swerve and xanthan gum and mix well. Turn down the heat and stir for about 2 minutes. Set aside and let it cool down while you prepare the crepes

    OMG this looks DIVINE! Thank you for posting all these recipes. I got around to making the brownies 2 days ago and enjoying those one by one everyday … or more like trying to restrain myself to only one a day 😉

    I can’t wait to try these. I love the desserts as I tend to have a sweet tooth.

    anyone knows what can I use to substitute swerve in all these recipes? I only got stevia powder, gave nectar and xylitol (swerve hasn’t reached this corner of the world yet).

      I think xylitol is good 🙂

    I didn’t care for these. The jam was delicious but it didn’t sit well when combined with the chocolate topping. I wouldn’t combine jelly with chocolate. I will definitely make the jam again though!
