Instructions
Make the cookie dough base
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the almond flour, tapioca flour, monk fruit sugar, and salt.
- Stir in the melted coconut oil, coconut milk, vanilla, and maple syrup.
- Mix until a soft dough forms. If crumbly, add 1–2 teaspoons extra coconut milk.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Press the dough into a parchment-lined pan in a thin, even layer — about 1/4 inch thick.
- Freeze for 20–30 minutes until very firm.
Cook the toffee layer
- Add almond butter, refined coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut milk, and salt to a saucepan.
- Heat on medium until melted, then increase to medium-high.
- Let it boil for 2½–3 minutes without stirring, until thick, glossy, and deep amber.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla if using.
- Immediately pour the hot toffee over the frozen cookie dough and spread quickly.
Add the chocolate layer
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot toffee so they melt, or pour melted chocolate on top.
- Spread evenly and add extra chips or sprinkles if desired.
Chill + break
- Chill in the fridge for 45 minutes, or freeze for 10–15 minutes, until solid.
- Lift out of the pan and break into rustic pieces.
- Store in the refrigerator (recommended) for 1 week, or freeze for 1 month.
