Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Crust
- In a bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, powdered sweetener, and salt.
- Stir in melted butter until the mixture holds together.
- Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your springform pan to form an even crust base.
- Place it in the fridge to set while you prepare the next layers.
Make the Peanut Butter Layer
- In a cold bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the peanut butter, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract, then mix until combined.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until light and even.
- Spread this layer evenly over the chilled crust and return it to the refrigerator.
Prepare the Chocolate Pudding Layer
- Heat the heavy whipping cream and almond milk in a saucepan until just simmering.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and egg yolks.
- Slowly pour a small amount of the hot cream into the eggs while whisking constantly to temper them.
- Return everything to the pan over low heat and whisk in cocoa powder until it begins to thicken.
- Stir in the thickening agent, butter, and vanilla extract, continuing to cook until fully thickened to a pudding-like texture.
- Allow it to cool slightly before layering over the peanut butter layer.
Assemble and Chill
- Spread the cooled chocolate pudding layer evenly over the peanut butter layer.
- Sprinkle the crushed low-carb brownies or cookies on top for texture.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to fully set.
Serve
- Once chilled through, slice into wedges and enjoy this rich, creamy dessert.
