  • 1/2 cup  Organic Tapioca starch/flour
  • 1.5 cups of softened ghee or butter
  • 2 heaping tsp corn-free baking powder
  • 6 soy free eggs

  • Or Low carb sweetener
  • 1 cup finely chopped almonds (not almond flour)
  • 2 tsp of Organic Pure Vanilla Extract
  • Melted Stone Ground Organic Chocolate 80% Dark(optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.

Beat the ghee/butter and sugar until it is fluffy in a large mixing bowl.

Add the 2 teaspoons of vanilla and 6 whole eggs, then beat it all together.

Mix the the dry ingredients into another bowl.

Then slowly add it into the wet ingredients.

Grease 9×12 oblong baking dish with coconut oil.

Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for an hour and half.

Stick a fork in the middle and see if it comes out clean.

Cut it into squares once cooled then serve with whipped cream

For a Dairy Free version: whip coconut cream like they did here.

You can top it with some melted chocolate if desired. Just use a double boiler and melt some Stone Ground Organic Chocolate 80% Dark over medium heat then drizzel it on top with a spoon.
