Ingredients

For the crust:
1 bag HighKey brownie bites
1 tbsp butter, melted

For the filling:
1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup unsweetened almond or hemp milk
1/3 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener
3 large egg yolks
1/4 tsp glucomannan (or xanthan gum)
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For the topping:
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp powdered Swerve Sweetener

Directions

1. Make the crust – Crush brownie bites with a rolling pin or mallet until coarse crumbs form. Mix with melted butter, then divide among 6 small dessert dishes (about 4 oz each). Press firmly into the bottoms.

2. Prepare the filling – In a saucepan, heat cream, almond or hemp milk, and Swerve over medium heat until simmering.

3. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks. Slowly pour in 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture while whisking to temper. Gradually whisk tempered yolks back into the saucepan.

4. Reduce heat to medium-low, sprinkle in glucomannan, and whisk continuously. Stir in cocoa powder and cook 3–4 minutes until thickened.

5. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla until smooth. Divide filling into dessert cups over crust. Refrigerate 2–3 hours until set.

6. Make the topping – Whip cream with sweetener until stiff peaks form. Spoon or pipe over chilled filling before serving.
