Instructions:
1. Prepare the nougat layer:
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour and powdered sweetener.
- Add almond butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.
- Press the dough into a small, lined baking dish (about 6×4 inches) lined with parchment paper. Make sure the layer is even.
- Place the dish in the freezer to set while you prepare the caramel layer.
2. Make the caramel layer:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine powdered sweetener, heavy cream, and butter.
- Stir constantly until the sweetener has dissolved and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Let the caramel cool for a few minutes, then pour it over the nougat layer in the baking dish.
- Return the dish to the freezer and let it set for at least 1 hour.
3. Coat with chocolate:
- Once the caramel layer has set, remove the baking dish from the freezer and cut the mixture into bars.
