Ingredients

Sugar-free Gummy Worms

Link to recipe below

Dirt Cake

7 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped fine

2 cups butter or coconut oil

1 ¼ cup Swerve confectioners

1 TBSP Stevia Glycerite (adjust to desired sweetness)

5 large eggs

1 TSP vanilla extract (or 1 vanilla bean scraped clean)

1 TSP almond extract

Cream Filling

1 cup heavy cream, whipped

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 TBSP Stevia Glycerite (to taste)

Directions

Make the gummy worms and set in the fridge to set while you make the dirt cake.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease an 8 inch pan and line with parchment paper (greased or mini muffin tins). Grease parchment paper.

Brown the butter (if desired…tastes way better!) in a saucepan. Once the butter is brown (not black!), slowly add the chocolate (don’t burn the chocolate). Add the sweetener. Let cool in fridge.

Once cool, add one egg at a time. Add the extracts. The batter may be lumpy at this time.

Stir well using a hand mixer until very smooth.

Pour into the pie pan and bake for 20 minutes. Remove and allow to cool. Once cool, crumble into “dirt.”

To make the cream layer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Add the softened cream cheese and sweetener to taste. Mix until creamy.

To assemble, place 2 tablespoons of “dirt” into a small serving cup. Top with 2 tablespoons of the cream filling, then top with another 2 tablespoons of “dirt.” Garnish with keto gummy worms.
