A magic bar is a 5-layer dessert bar that magically types by merely layering every ingredient right into a sq. pan. It’s made from:

Earlier than beginning this recipe, make a batch of my keto condensed milk recipe. It’s a scrumptious keto-sweetened condensed milk with no sugar.

You’ll use your complete batch of this low-carb condensed milk recipe to make these magic bars.

You may make this condensed milk recipe 1 or 2 days earlier than making this magic bar keto recipe.

Substances for the Keto shortbread crust

First, put together the keto shortbread crust by combining the elements beneath into a big mixing bowl.

To make this grain free sugar free crut, you want:

• Almond Flour – use ultra-fine, not almond meal. Learn to choose your keto flour.
• Erythritol – don’t use xylitol, or the crust might be too gentle! Convert your sweeteners with my Sweetener Converter.
• Coconut Oil or melted butter if most popular.
• Water
• Vanilla Extract
• Salt

Prebaking The Crust

Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C). Line an 8-inch x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Then, press the shortbread dough evenly into the baking dish to totally cowl the floor with the identical thickness everywhere in the pan.

Press the dough with a spatula or the again of a spoon to smoothen the floor.

Prick the crust with a fork and prebake the crust for 12 minutes, till golden. Cool it down earlier than assembling the low-carb magic bar layers.

Assembling The Layer

A magic cookie bar magically creates layers within the oven.

To make this occur, you have to sprinkle the elements evenly everywhere in the baking dish on this order:

• Sugar-free chocolate chips – it’s necessary to begin with the primary layer of chocolate chips, not the coconut, or the coconut received’t stick properly to the shortbread base.
• Half the quantity of unsweetened shredded coconut.
• Remaining shredded coconut.
• Sugar-free chocolate chips.
• Finely chopped pecans and walnuts.
• 1 batch of home made sugar-free condensed milk.

The chocolate chips and sugar-free condensed milk soften within the oven, sticking the layer collectively and forming the magic cookie bars recipe!

Gently bake the bar at 320°F (160°C). Don’t bake at a better temperature to keep away from burning the chocolate chips.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or till all of the elements are melted and bubbles type on the facet of the bars.

Cooling Down

Cool the bars down at room temperature first.

I like to recommend 10 minutes within the baking dish, then pull out the magic bars from the pan, lifting the items of parchment paper hanging out of the dish.

Switch onto a cooling rack for 1 hour.

Lastly, pop the rack with the bars within the fridge for at the very least 3 hours or in a single day.

That is essential to set the layers. It makes the slicing straightforward and prevents the bars from crumbling or the layers from sticking to one another.

You too can freeze every bar in a person container and thaw it the day earlier than at room temperature.
