Ingredients
Base
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 8 tablespoons sunflower seed butter
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons allergy friendly chocolate chips
Filling
- 14 oz dairy-free cream cheese alternative (room temp)
- 2 tablespoons dairy-free heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup allergy friendly chocolate chips
Topping
- ½ cup allergy friendly chocolate chips, melted
- 10 Free2b Chocolate Sunflower Butter Sun Cups, chopped
- Flaky sea salt (to taste)
Directions
- Line an 8x8” pan with parchment paper.
- Make the base: In a mixing bowl, stir together all base ingredients until a thick, cookie dough-like mixture forms. Press into the prepared pan in an even layer. Refrigerate while you prep the filling.
- Whip the filling: In a clean bowl, beat the dairy-free cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Add powdered sugar and cream, then beat on medium speed until light and fluffy (1–2 minutes). Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Assemble the bars: Spread the filling over the chilled base in an even layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Freeze: Once set, slice the bars into 9 or 12 squares. Keep them in the pan and freeze for 12–24 hours to firm up.
- Top it off: Remove from the pan, re-cut if needed, and place bars on a cutting board. Drizzle melted chocolate over each bar and immediately top with chopped Free2b cups and a pinch of flaky sea salt. Work one bar at a time so the toppings stick before the chocolate hardens.
- Store & enjoy: Keep bars in the freezer for a firmer texture, or the fridge for a softer bite. Either way—they’re irresistible!
