This Keto Chocolate Tart has a silky and dreamy chocolate ganache with a buttery, flaky and crispy crust - so decadent! You can wow your guests with this delicious dessert, and they would not even know that it is keto. This almond crust is one of my keto pie crust recipes (see video • HOW TO MAKE KETO PIE C... ) and it is the crispiest. But you can actually use any of the other crust recipes from the video except that the texture may be different due to different flours.
Since the chocolate ganache is the star here, it would be best to use a good quality dark chocolate which is sugar free. As I have some leftovers of 99% Lindt Dark Chocolate, I decided to use these. Nowadays, there are more sugar free dark chocolate available online so it is quite convenient.

[Total Servings = 12]
NUTRITION INFO PER SERVING
Total Carb = 8.6 g
Dietary Fiber = 4 g
Net Carb = 4.6 g
Calories = 333
Total Fat = 29.9 g
Protein = 6.8 g
INGREDIENTS FOR THE CRUST
Almond Flour = 240 g / 2 cups (You can also use other crust options from this pie crust video- • HOW TO MAKE KETO PIE C... . However, this almond crust recipe is the crispiest.)
Unsalted Cold Butter (Cubed) = 80 g / 1/3 cup
Egg = 1 large
Salt = 1 tsp
INGREDIENTS FOR THE CHOCOLATE GANACHE.
Unsweetened dark chocolate = 228 g / 8 oz
Whipping or heavy cream = 240 ml / 1 cup
Powdered Sweetener = 100 g (Note: I used self-ground Erythritol, but you can use any keto friendly powdered sweetener)
Egg = 1 large
Salt = 1 tsp (optional)
Pea or Almond Milk = 60 ml / 1/4 cup
Unsalted Butter (softened) = 14 g / 1 tbsp
DIRECTION FOR THE CRUST
1. Preheat the oven at 350F or 180C.
2. In a bowl, add the almond flour and salt. Mix to combine.
3. Add the cold cubed butter and use your fingers to mash it into smaller pieces. Then switch to flatten the pieces of dough between your hands. The thin sheets of butter created will melt as the crust bakes and it produces steam which pushes the flour around them and that is how we get the flaky layers. Once the dough looks crumbly, it's done.
4. Add the egg and mix until a dough is formed. Shape the dough into a ball.
5. Grease a non-stick 9 inch or 23 cm pan with a removable bottom.
6. Place the dough on the pan and spread evenly.
7. Freeze the dough for 15 mins.
8. After 15 mins, prick some holes on the dough. Then line with a parchment paper and weigh it down with any suitable weights. Blind bake for 15 mins. Then remove the paper and weights and bake for another 15 mins. Meanwhile, make the chocolate ganache.
DIRECTIONS FOR THE CHOCOLATE GANACHE
1. Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces so that it is easier to melt. Add into a bowl together with the sweetener and salt (if using). Mix to combine.
2. You can also melt the sweetener and salt together with the cream.
3. In a saucepan, add the whipping or heavy cream. Bring to a boil. Then pour over the chocolate mixture. Let it stand for 1 minute before stirring.
4. Stir to melt the chocolate mixture until smooth.
5. You can also melt the chocolate mixture slowly in a bain-marie or microwave.
6. Add the softened butter and whisk to combine.
7. Add the egg and whisk to combine.
8. Lastly, add the milk and whisk until smooth and creamy.
9. Pour onto the crust and bake at 300F or 150C for 20 minutes until the chocolate is set.
10. Cool completely before removing the pan.
11. You can decorate with some raspberries or strawberries and dust with powdered sweetener. Or sprinkle with flaky sea salt but these are all optional. You can also serve the chocolate tart with Crème Fraiche.
12. For a firmer texture, you can chill the chocolate tart before serving.
13. This chocolate tart can be refrigerated up to a week or frozen for months.

Another great recipe from my favorite baker 💕

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Thank you ❤

[@donnalockwood1296]

Hi You have such a far ranging list of keto recipes. Have you ever made a keto version of Madeleines? Also, I hope you are writing a cookbook recipe of all your great recipes.

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

I haven't tried Madelienes but will certainly look into it. Thanks for the suggestion. I have thought about a cook book but doing 2 videos a week and experimenting with recipes on other days are so time consuming so I have not done anything yet. Thanks so much for your support ❤

[@KetoFusion]

That looks simply lovely! Can't wait to try it.

[@ellyse3385]

It looks so pretty!

[@jenniferjes8524]

Oh, chocolate so excited, Thank you.

I always like your videos before even watching them♥️ This looks amazing & for sure tastes yummy 🙂

Awww.. you're the best ! I know you don't eat dessert but sure hope you give it a try. Thanks Niki ❤

Thanks a lot ❤❤

[@michaelremillard4215]

🤩 wow !

[@BaronessJames]

I am not keto anymore but I continue watching your recipes. I was wondering if I could substitute the heavy cream with some kind of nut milk/yoghurt. Do you think it will work?

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Yes yogurt or coconut cream will work too

[@fatimaahmed8410]

Can we make the pie crust with coco; if yes then what would be the ratio

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

You can refer to this link for Keto Pie Crust. There's a variety of flour and combo that you can choose from. Coconut flour alone will not produce a suitable crust hence, I have a recipe on Coconut Flaxseed crust. Please check out this video; kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZjQf5hporuAjNE

[@groovyhippiechick]

YUMMY! What do you do with the rest of the chocolate? 🤔

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Dipped strawberries into it hehe..

[@groovyhippiechick]

@@lowcarbrecipeideas YAAAAS!

[@groovyhippiechick]

@@lowcarbrecipeideas hahaha, I just remember, she put eggs in it! 🤭

[@SuperMiguelito2000]

The crust looks very thick. If it's thinner will it hold?

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Yes you can make the crust thinner and it will hold. The crust for my trial batch was thinner and it was fine.

[@yanding1573]

Is it possible to not use the sweetener? Concerned about sugar intake:) thanks

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

The sweetener used is not the regular sugar but keto friendly sweetener which is natural and has zero carb content. If you still want to omit it, you can.

[@yanding1573]

@@lowcarbrecipeideas thanks for replying! Also, any replacement if I don’t want to use baking powder/soda? Trying to stay all natural. Thanks.

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

@@yanding1573 Yes you can omit the leaveners except that the crust may be slightly denser

[@rebeccayau]

Hello! If I use 8-inch pan, how should I change the recipe? Thanks!

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

It's quite hard to reduce the portion for a 1 inch smaller pan. I wd suggest you can do a mini tart with any leftovers thanks

[@FF-pn7fx]

Vegan Version?

[@mimihodroj7539]

Can we use cacao powder instead of chocolate ?? if yes how many thanks !

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

So sorry I have not tried with cocoa powder so am not sure about the amount 🙏

[@maguimartins9290]

A question the oven heat up and down or just down? I ask why I make the cake with Greek yogurt that you published and it is a delight and now I think that the outer layer comes out half hard for putting the oven up and down, could it be?

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

I usually use top and bottom heat with fan. The only difference is either bake at lowest rack or middle rack. For keto bread it is always at lowest rack while cakes, cookies, pies etc are at middle rack. But every oven is different so you may need to adjust accordingly

[@tanzergirl9679]

I wonder how well this would freeze. I’m the only one in my house who would eat it so I’m thinking slice it then freeze. Thoughts?

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Yes you can freeze them

[@dieldiel5173]

Hi may I ask, do I need to reduce the amount of butter if im using cocoa mass/baking chocolate as it contains 50% of cocoa butter? Or should I stick with the provided recipe? Thank you.

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Frankly I am not so sure as I have not tried it. But I wd suggest you try with the same recipe first. Do let me know how it turns out thanks 😊

[@loarmesl69]

🤤🤤🤤👌🏼

[@caleelcampos7424]

Can i use coconut flour instead of almond flour?

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Yes I have provided the ratio at the description box together with a combo of almond and coconut flour. However, the crust with coconut flour will be the least crispy.

[@sabrinacastermans9043]

Can I use keto sweetened dark Chocolate and cut down the erythritol?

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Yes you can if you don't mind a higher carb content

[@ziggiezag938]

Can I use cow's milk? Whole, 1%, 2% or Skim?

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Yes

[@Josaline100]

If you are diabetic or prediabetic then no. There is also more sugar in low fat/calorie milks than whole milk. Otherwise yes.

[@Wynter0000]

Is this bakers chocolate?

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

As mentioned, I used 99% Lindt dark chocolate. Baking chocolate is fine too
