<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
- \n
- 1&1\/2 cups heavy whipping cream<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
- \n
- 1\/4 cup sweetener of your choice. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I like to use a monk fruit allulose brand that I order online. Besti has a very good one that has no after-taste at all.<\/em><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
- \n
- 2 Tablespoons butter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
- \n
- 1\/4 to \u00bd teaspoon Zanthan gum or Glucomannan from Konjac Root<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I order this Konjac root online. I do really prefer it to Zanthan gum<\/em><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
PREPARATION: <\/strong>(make the condensed milk 1st so that it can cool a bit)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1.Bring heavy cream to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer gently for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
2. Remove from heat and whisk in sweetener and then sprinkle \u00bc teaspoon Konjac root and whisk to combine<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
3. Let cool for 10 minutes and it is ready!
In the meantime preheat the oven to 300 degrees<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
4. Line an 8×8 metal pan with parchment paper leaving 2 sides with overhanging edges<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This makes the bar is easy to remove from the pan<\/em><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
5. Grease with cooking spray or butter<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
10. Let cool for about 20 minutes and then carefully score into the size bar you choose<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I like to make 16 pieces<\/em><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
11. Refrigerate until cold and then recut pieces<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Keep the pan stored in a closed container in the fridge and indulge whenever the mood sets in! My saliva glands are pouring just thinking about how delicious this square is. <\/p>\n
