🥧 Ingredients You’ll Need

Almond Flour Crust

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp granulated erythritol (or your favorite keto sweetener)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Dark Chocolate Ganache Filling

  • 3.5 oz sugar-free dark chocolate, chopped
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ tsp espresso powder (optional)
  • Flaked sea salt, for garnish

👩‍🍳 How to Make Keto Dark Chocolate Tartlets

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine almond flour, melted butter, erythritol, and vanilla in a bowl until a crumbly dough forms.
Press evenly into mini tart pans and bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden. Cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Ganache

In a small saucepan, bring heavy cream to a gentle simmer.
Remove from heat, add chopped dark chocolate and espresso powder, and whisk until smooth and glossy.

Step 3: Assemble & Chill

Pour the ganache into the cooled crusts.
Chill for at least 30 minutes or until the centers are set. Finish with a light sprinkle of flaked sea salt before serving.


🌟 Chef’s Twist

A touch of espresso powder intensifies the chocolate flavor without adding bitterness.
The sea salt garnish adds a gourmet finish and enhances the ganache’s silky texture.
