CONVENTIONAL METHOD
If making into bars please use the technique highlighted in the blog post.
Preheat oven to 180℃.
Beat together butter and sweetener until light and fluffy.
Add egg yolk, whole egg, lemon juice, and vanilla. Beat for 1 minute.
Mix in dry ingredients and blend well.
Split dough in half and roll out each half of dough between 2 sheets of baking paper to approximately 2mm thick and approximately the size of the baking tray you are going to use to assemble the slice. I use a 28cm x 21cm slice tin. See images for tips.
Lift pastry filled paper and place onto a large baking tray.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Biscuit will still be soft. Allow to cool on tray for 5 minutes then move to wire rack to cool completely. Biscuits will continue to crisp over a couple of hours. Move 1 sheet of pastry to a baking paper lined tin (28x21cm) and reserve.
VANILLA CUSTARD
Add cream and vanilla to a small saucepan. Whisking mixture over medium heat until a low simmer and remove from heat.
In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, sweetener, xanthan, and gelatin. Whisk through cream mix and return to heat and continue whisking until custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Pour custard onto prepared pastry in baking tin. Top with second pastry sheet. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours until custard has set.
CARAMEL
In a large microwave-safe pyrex bowl place butter, Sukrin Fibre Syrup and cream
and cook 4 minutes on high, stir and cook a further 3-4 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before pouring slowly over the top of the the set custard slice.
Drizzle with melted chocolate and refrigerate until set.
Cut into bars and serve.
