Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of almond flour, ¼ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, ⅓ cup of Swerve confectioners, and a pinch of salt. Pour in ½ cup of melted butter and mix until crumbly. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Beat 8 oz of cream cheese until smooth, then add ½ cup of creamy peanut butter, ¼ cup of Swerve, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Fold in whipped cream and spread over the crust, refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. Heat 1 cup of heavy cream and ½ cup of almond milk until simmering. Whisk together 1 large egg and 2 egg yolks, temper with the hot cream mixture. Return to saucepan, add ¼ cup of cocoa powder and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in glucomannan, 2 tbsp of butter, 1 tsp of vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the chocolate pudding layer over the peanut butter layer, spreading evenly. Sprinkle ½ cup of brownie bites or chopped nuts on top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  5. Remove springform pan, slice Keto Dirt Cake, and serve chilled, optionally with whipped cream or berries.
