Ingredients

Cake

  • cups blanched almond flour
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter (or Bulletproof Grass-Fed Ghee)
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • ½ cup monk fruit (brown)
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla powder (or 1 tbsp vanilla extract)
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Tres Leches (Homemade condensed coconut milk)

Coconut Whipped Cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Mix all the cake ingredients together in a large bowl using a hand mixer.
  • Pour into an 8x8 greased, parchment-lined dish or a rectangle/slice tin.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until cooked through and golden.
  • Meanwhile, make the tres leches by adding condensed milk, vanilla and sweetener into a medium-sized saucepan and bring the mix to a soft boil. Reduce for 30 minutes or until it's reduced by half and has thickened. Stir occasionally, especially toward the end to prevent the mixture from burning on the bottom.
  • Once the cake is finished baking, allow it cool.
  • Once the homemade condensed coconut milk is ready and off the heat, add Vanilla Bean Energy Collagen Protein and whisk until combined.
  • Poke the top of the cake to make a lot of holes and pour the condensed coconut milk mixture over the top so the cake absorbs all that tasty goodness.
  • Place cake in the refrigerator to set. Place a heavy mixing bowl (or the bowl from your stand mixer) in the freezer to chill for the coconut whipped cream.
  • Add the solid coconut cream to the chilled mixing bowl and use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip it. Add sweetener of choice and French Vanilla Creamer and continue whipping until the cream stiffens.
  • Spread the coconut whipped cream evenly over the cake and top with fresh berries. Once you dig into a slice of this keto tres leches cake recipe, you may never go back to the traditional version.
