Equipment
Ingredients
- 80 g organic cocoa butter drops melted
- 145 g Keto Lemon Curd - FOL recipe
- 1 large egg whisked
- 80 g coconut flour
- 2 TB ground flaxseed
- 50 g powdered erythritol confectioners
- 1 lemon finely grated zest only
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan oven). This is 200°C for conventional ovens (or 400°F / gas mark 6).
- Grease and line the base and sides of a small, square baking dish (or brownie tin). Mine was 15x15cm / 6x6").
- Weigh out the cocoa buttons and melt over a low heat on the hob until melted. Set aside to cool a little.
- At the same time, reheat your Lemon Curd just a little until it loosen up again. As mentioned in that recipe, I think it solidifies a little due to the erythritol. Set aside to cool a little.
- Whisk the egg in a bowl, then whisk in the cooled, melted cocoa buttons as well as the Lemon Curd. This will make up your wet mix.
- In the meantime, in a large bowl, combine the coconut flour, ground flaxseed, sweetener, and the finely grated zest of 1 lemon. Combine well.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix well to combine. You may want to switch to a wooden spoon to work more effectively.
- Coconut flour absorbs moisture like crazy, so work quickly to ensure there are no 'dry bits'. Tip the whole lot into your prepared tin. Use a small spatula to press the mixture neatly down into a smooth, even compressed layer as shown.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes (I always rotate it halfway through).
- Remove and set aside to cool completely before slicing into 9 squares. If you slice too early, you risk the squares cracking or falling apart.They will harden once cooled. Store in a sealed container and enjoy them dunked in your coffee or tea!
