Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2.
Toast pecans for 8 minutes, remove and allow to cool then chop and set aside. Sprinkle gelatin over water in a heavy-bottom pot. Let stand until softened, about 5 minutes.
3.
In a medium bowl, whisk yolks and sugar substitute to combine. Add cream and cocoa powder to gelatin mixture and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until cocoa is dissolved and mixture has begun to simmer.
4.
Slowly pour half of gelatin mixture into yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Pour mixture back into pot. This process is known as tempering. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
5.
Stir in salt, vanilla, and chocolate extracts. Chill mixture 4 hours. Pour ice cream into ice cream maker. Process according to manufacturer's directions. About 5 minutes before ice cream is finished, add pecans and chocolate bars.

This fruit-filled bar recipe is similar in taste to butter cookies with strawberry filling. For options, substitute raspberry or other jams for the filling, and sift powdered sugar rather than drizzle icing.
