Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 2/3 cup Swerve brown sugar sweetener
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger minced
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp fresh orange zest
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 tbsp gelatin 1 packet
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup Lily's sugar-free white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free dried cranberries chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup Swerve powdered sweetener
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp orange extract
  • 1 Tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free dried cranberries chopped
  • 1/2 cup Lily's sugar-free white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • Combine butter, sugar, extract, ginger, orange zest and egg.  Mix in flour, baking soda, gelatin and salt.  Finally, fold in Lily's white baking chips and dried cranberries. 
  • Tip: granulated Swerve can be substituted for brown, ground ginger can be substituted for fresh and orange extract can be substituted for orange zest.  These will work but for best results try not to make any substitutions.  Trust me! 
  • 2. Spread the dough into a greased 7"x11" or 9"x9" pan.  Place it into the oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 mins.  The edges with brown and the center should be firm.
  • 3. Bring the bars out of the oven and allow them to cool completely.
  • 4. Using an electric mixer, beat the frosting ingredients until well combined.
  • 5. Spread frosting all over the bars.
  • 6. Melt the Lily's white chocolate and coconut oil in a bowl.  A double boiler works best otherwise the white chocolate can clump very easily.  Tip: if you use a microwave, heat the chocolate in short 10 second intervals, stirring after each.  The coconut oil is an important addition because it helps the chocolate to liquidify and spread easily.
  • 7. Sprinkle the chopped cranberries over the bars and drizzle the Lily's white chocolate overtop.
  • 8. Finally, cut the bars into triangles.  Really, you can cut them into any shape that you want but this gives them that authentic Starbuck cranberry bliss bar look.
