Ingredients
  

Shortbread Crust

  • ½ cup cassava flour
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoon tapioca starch
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Caramel Filling

  • ¾ cup tapioca starch
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt

Chocolate Topping

  • ¼ cup refined coconut oil
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoon carob powder
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoon canned coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoon tapioca starch
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

Shortbread Crust

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
  • Combine shortbread crust ingredients in a bowl until a smooth batter forms then, with your hands, press it into an even layer in the pan.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes. The crust will still be soft when you remove it, which is okay. Put it in the freezer to cool for 30 minutes.

Caramel Filling & Chocolate Topping

  • While the crust is baking, combine the caramel filling and chocolate topping in two separate bowls. Keep the caramel on the counter and pop the chocolate topping in the fridge.
  • After the crust has been frozen for 30 minutes and has hardened, carefully spread the caramel layer over it. Freeze crust/caramel combo for another 45 minutes, or until the caramel has set.
  • Once the caramel has set, evenly top with the cooled chocolate layer and cover. Freeze for 3-4 hours, or until fully set.
  • Cut into bars and serve cold. Store covered in the freezer.

Notes

  • Make sure to use refined coconut oil to avoid coconut flavor.
  • Use solidified refined coconut oil for the shortbread crust. Use refined liquid coconut oil for the chocolate layer to mix faster (if you only have solidified oil that works too.) 
  • Wait until the caramel has set before adding the chocolate on top. This means if you tilt the pan it doesn’t move.
  • Store covered in the freezer to avoid freezer burn and serve cold.
