(see post for how to toast almond flour)

Combine toasted almond flour, monkfruit, cocoa and optional coffee in a small bowl. Mix well.

Add melted butter and vanilla and continue to mix. A spatula works nicely to simply fold it all in.

Crumble with your fingers.

Add about 1/2 of the total mixture to the bottom of 5 small mason jars. Set remaining crumble aside.

Add 2 egg yolks to a small bowl, beat, and set aside.

In a medium sauce pan, warm heavy whipping cream over medium-medium-high heat until hot but not boiling.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix monkfruit, cocoa, almond flour, salt, and xanthan gum.

Once the heavy whipping cream mixture is hot, add monkfruit mixture.

Continue stirring until sauce begins to think. This could take anywhere from 2-5 minutes depending on the heat. It will start to lightly bubble and that is perfect. Keep stirring until slightly thicker.

Temper egg yolks: Pour a small amount of hot mixture into the egg bowl. Mix quickly and add back into hot mixture. Continue stirring for another few minutes as sauce thickens even more.

Remove from heat.

Add about 2-2.5 tablespoons to each mason jar (approximately).

Add a thin layer of chocolate crumble to each mason jar (reserving more for later still).

Put jars in the fridge for 10 minutes to cool.

Prepare peppermint pudding the same as chocolate pudding layer (steps 1-7 above), omitting the cocoa.

Add peppermint extract and a few drops of safe food coloring. Mix well.

Remove from heat.

Add about 2-2.5 tablespoons to each mason jar (approximately).

Add a thin layer of chocolate crumble to each mason jar (reserving more for later IF you are going to add optional whipped cream layer).

You will have whipped cream leftover but it is hard to beat less than 1/2 cup at a time.

Add heavy whipping cream and sweetener to a small bowl and beat with hand mixers until soft peaks form (about 5 minutes).

Add a dollop of whipped cream to each mason jar and sprinkle with final chocolate crumble.

Serve or put a lid on and store in the refrigerator.
