¹⁄₂ cup peeled and diced jicama

4 tbsp erythritol and oligosaccharide blend granular sweetener, divided

¹⁄₂ tbsp finely chopped walnuts (optional)

³⁄₄ tsp ground cinnamon, divided

²⁄₃ cup almond flour

1 tsp baking powder

¹⁄₄ tsp ground nutmeg

¹⁄₄ tsp allspice

¹⁄₈ tsp fine grind sea salt

2 large eggs

1¹⁄₂ tbsp heavy cream

1 tsp vanilla extract

FOR THE SAUCE

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp heavy cream

1 tbsp erythritol and oligosaccharide blend granular sweetener

¹⁄₈ tsp vanilla extract

1 Lightly coat two 3.5 x 2.5-inch (9 x 5cm) ramekins with nonstick coconut oil spray.

2 In a medium bowl, combine the jicama, 1 tbsp sweetener, walnuts (if using), and ¹⁄₄ tsp cinnamon. With a spoon, gently fold the jicama and walnuts to coat in the sweetener and cinnamon. Set aside.

3 In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, remaining sweetener, baking powder, remaining cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and sea salt. Mix to combine.

4 Add the eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to the bowl, and whisk until no lumps remain. Fold the jicama mixture into the batter.

5 Spoon equal amounts of the batter into the ramekins and use a spoon to smooth. Tightly cover each ramekin with aluminum foil.

6 Add 2 cups water to the bottom of the inner pot. Place the ramekins on the steam rack, grasp the steam rack handles, and carefully lower the rack and ramekins into the pot.

7 Cover, lock the lid, and flip the steam release handle to the sealing position. Select Pressure Cook (High) and set the cook time for 25 minutes.

8 When the cook time is complete, quick release the pressure. Open the lid and carefully transfer the ramekins to a cooling rack.

9 Make the caramel sauce by melting the butter in a small saucepan placed over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and sweetener and stir until the sauce is bubbling and begins to thicken.

10 Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the sauce to cool and thicken in the pan for 2 minutes.

11 Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the caramel sauce over top of each cake. Serve warm.
