- 1 tbsp butter or coconut oil melted
- 1 cup creamy almond butter or cashew butter or peanut butter
- 1/2 cup monkfruit/erythritol granulated
- 1/4 tsp stevia
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup heavy cream or coconut cream
- 1/3 cup sugar free chocolate chips or confectioners erythritol for dusting
Preheat oven to 350F. Melt butter or coconut oil in an 8" cast iron skillet.
1 tbsp butter or coconut oil
Alternately melt in a small pan and prepare an 8" round cake pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl mix all ingredients except for the chocolate chips.
1 cup creamy almond butter, 1/2 cup monkfruit/erythritol, 1/4 tsp stevia, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/3 cup sugar free chocolate chips or confectioners erythritol for dusting
Add melted butter or coconut oil from skillet or pan. Stir well. Now press parchment into the warm skillet with a towel. Or get prepared 8" cake pan.
Batter will be stiff, so using a spatula spread evenly in skillet or cake pan. Bake 20 minutes until a toothpick test clean from the center.
Cool 10 minutes in the pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and bake an additional 5 minutes to melt.
1/3 cup sugar free chocolate chips or confectioners erythritol for dusting
Remove from oven and immediately spread the melted chips around the top to form a frosting. Alternately skip the chocolate chip step and sprinkle with confectioners erythritol.
Cool by lifting up the parchment paper and letting it sit on a wire rack to cool. Now cut with a sharp knife into 6 pieces.
Serve with a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh fruit. Leftovers keep up to 1 week in the fridge. Wrap in plastic wrap to prevent it drying out and keep in an airtight container.
