What is in a 7 layer keto magic cookie bar?
This low carb seven layer magic cookie bar is stacked with chocolate, keto hazelnut spread, coconut, and even caramel syrup. If you love the Girl Scout cookie Samoas, this is the dessert bar form of that– made keto friendly. The cookie crust is the first layer, followed by layer after layer of sweet ingredients. It’s a perfect bite of coconut, chocolate, and caramel. You won’t believe how decadent and sweet this low carb dessert bar is.
Why are they called magic bars?
The name magic cookie bars might have been named for the musical Hello Dolly! as they were Carol Channing’s favorite dessert and she was headlining the show on Broadway. Other people say it’s because this recipe uses mostly shelf stable ingredients to create a delicious dessert just like magic.
How to make magic cookie bars keto friendly.
The traditional magic cookie bar is full of carbs and sugar, making it not keto friendly and full of ingredients that may not fit your lifestyle. This recipe flips the script and uses ingredients like our sugar free chocolate chips and keto hazelnut spread to make this a decadent and delicious dessert with no added sugar and low carb ingredients.
We use almond flour to make the cookie bar crust, which has less carbohydrates than regular wheat flour. We also are using our sugar free caramel syrup to create that buttery and caramel taste necessary for this 7 layer bar. There’s also plenty of nuts and some heavy cream to bring up the fat content, which is perfect for anyone on the keto diet.
Customize your keto magic bar.
We love this recipe for low carb seven layer dessert bars, but you can customize it by changing up the flavor of sugar free chocolate chips or keto hazelnut spread. You could also swap the keto hazelnut spread for keto cookie butter for an extra layer of yummy cookie taste. If you don’t love coconut in dessert, you can take it out, but we recommend trying it first. It adds a subtle sweetness that’s very delicious.
Do magic cookie 7 layer bars need to be refrigerated before eating?
Yes, you should refrigerate your keto magic cookie bars for at least 3 hours before enjoying them. This helps solidify the layers so you can cleanly slice pieces and serve up on a plate. After all, what’s a 7 layer magic cookie bar without the layers?
How to store your keto magic cookie bars.
Store your low carb magic cookie bars by either keeping them on the counter for up to 3 days, or refrigerate them for up to one week. These keto dessert bars can also be frozen for 2-3 months and can be defrosted on the counter.
