Instructions:
- Prepare the Bar Mixture:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, powdered Swerve, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Gradually add the coconut flour to the mixture, stirring continuously. Continue to mix until you achieve a cake-like consistency where the batter holds together but isn’t too dry.
- Form the Bars:
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove the bars once they are set.
- Press the pumpkin mixture evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing it out with a spatula or the back of a spoon to create a flat, even layer.
- Prepare the Icing:
- In a small bowl, combine the powdered Swerve, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. If the icing is too thick, add a small amount of water, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Ice the Bars (Optional):
- Once the pumpkin layer is pressed into the pan, spread the icing evenly over the top using a spatula. Smooth it out to cover the surface of the bars.
- Chill and Cut:
- Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour to allow them to set and firm up.
- After chilling, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into 8 equal pieces.
Tips:
- Ensure the bars are completely chilled before cutting to help them hold their shape.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
