These Almond Joy Bars are just as delicious the original candy bars. Imagine sweet coconut bars topped with a crispy almond and submerged in a dark chocolate coating. These keto coconut bars are sugar-free, incredibly easy to make with 7 ingredients, and only 3g net carbs.
Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the heavy cream and bring to a boil. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly.
Add the sweetener and continue cooking for about 4-5 minutes until the cream starts to thicken.
Remove from the heat and add the shredded coconut and almond extract. Let the mixture cool for about 15 minutes.
Scoop out about 1 tbsp (about 20 grams each) of mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. I made 14 molds). Wet your fingers and shape them into ovals or egg shapes.
Press one almond on top of an easy coconut bar. Place them into the freezer for about 1 hour to slightly harden.
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate and cocoa butter using a double boiler method or in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds. Melt until smooth and well incorporated.
Once firm, dip each coconut bar into the melted chocolate. Use toothpicks or two forks to completely cover the bars into the chocolate. Carefully remove excess chocolate, as shown in the step by step video.
Place the cholate bar onto the baking sheet and repeat with all the bars.
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set the chocolate coating.
