Ingredients
(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)
Almond flour
Almond flour forms the base of the crust, providing a nutty flavor and tender texture while keeping the tart keto-friendly.
Unsalted butter
Butter binds the crust and adds richness, helping create a firm yet crumbly base.
Powdered keto sweetener
A powdered keto sweetener ensures smooth texture in both the crust and filling without any graininess.
Cocoa powder
Cocoa powder gives the filling its intense chocolate flavor and deep color.
Dark sugar-free chocolate
Sugar-free dark chocolate adds richness and helps create a silky, luxurious filling.
Heavy cream
Heavy cream provides creaminess and body, essential for a smooth chocolate tart filling.
Eggs
Eggs help set the filling and give it structure while maintaining a soft, custard-like texture.
Vanilla extract
Vanilla extract enhances the chocolate flavor and adds warmth.
Salt
Salt balances sweetness and intensifies the chocolate notes.
Directions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a tart pan lightly and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered keto sweetener, and a pinch of salt. Add the melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles damp sand. Press the crust evenly into the bottom and sides of the tart pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and allow to cool slightly.
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and add the chopped sugar-free dark chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth. Whisk in the cocoa powder until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs with vanilla extract. Slowly whisk the chocolate mixture into the eggs to avoid scrambling. Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly soft. Remove from the oven and allow the tart to cool completely before slicing.
