  • 200g sugar substitute (for a truly sugar-free option, ensure it’s suitable for caramelizing, or adjust the recipe as needed)

  • 110g cream (30-36% fat content)

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Start by lightly sautéing the almonds, peanuts, and hazelnuts in a pan. This brings out a wonderful aroma and depth of flavor.

2. In the same pan, lightly fry the pumpkin, sunflower, and flax seeds until they’re just golden.

3. Prepare your caramel by gently heating the sugar substitute (or your cream and butter mixture for a no-sugar option) until it reaches a caramel color. Add the cream and butter, mix well, and let it cool slightly before refrigerating for 30 minutes to set.

4. Once the base is firm, pour the melted sugar-free chocolate over the top. Ensure an even coating for that irresistible chocolate shell.

5. Refrigerate again for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.

6. If desired, drizzle any remaining chocolate over the top for a decorative touch.
