Equipment

  • 6 4" Mini Tart Pans

Ingredients

Keto Chocolate Pastry Dough

  • 1 ¼ cup Superfine Almond Flour
  • ½ cup Chocolate Whey Protein Powder
  • ¼ cup Cocoa Powder
  • 2 tablespoon Coconut Flour
  • ½ cup Salted Butter room temperature
  • ½ cup Allulose ⅓ cup if using erythitol blend
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Sugar Free Milk Chocolate Ganache

  • 9 oz Lily’s Milk Chocolate Chips
  • cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Assembly

  • Raspberries Strawberry Slices, Blueberries, and/or Mint, as desired.

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, and coconut flour, set aside.
  • In stand mixer - or in a large bowl if using an electric mixer - cream butter and allulose until fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla, beat until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients mix to the mixer bowl, and carefully mix until well incorporated and smooth.
  • Wrap dough with plastic wrap, chill for 1 hour.

Bake the Keto Chocolate Tart Shells

  • Preheat oven to 325 F
  • Spray a set of 4" tart pans (with removable bottom) with cooking spray.
  • Use a bit of extra chocolate protein powder to lightly dust your work surface, roll the chilled dough out to between ⅛"-¼" thick.
  • Use a 5" or 5.5" diameter cookie cutter to cut rounds from your dough. (If using different sized pans, aim for about 1" bigger than your pan.)
  • Once you’ve cut as many as you can, gather the scraps together. Gently knead together, then roll and cut again as needed.
  • Carefully place a dough round in each tart pan, pressing into the bottom edge and into the side scallops of the pan. Aim for an even thickness throughout.
  • Use a sharp knife to trim the top edge of the crust, discard leftovers.
  • Prick the bottom of each crust several times with a fork. For best results, chill or freeze for 10 minutes before baking.
  • Bake tart shells for 15-18 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature.

Fill the Keto Chocolate Tarts

  • Place sugar-free chocolate chips into a glass mixing bowl, and put aside.
  • In a small saucepan, combine heavy whipping cream and butter. Heat to JUST to a simmer over medium heat, remove from heat.
  • Stir in vanilla extract, then pour hot cream mixture into bowl of chocolate chips. Let sit for 3-5 minutes.
  • Starting in the middle of the bowl, slowly start stirring the chocolate and cream until all of the chocolate is melted and the cream has disappeared into it – it should be smooth.
  • Spoon or pipe ganache into the cooled keto chocolate tartlet shells.
  • Chill filled tarts in the fridge for at least an hour or two, until the filling is set.

Assembly

  • Before serving, allow set tarts to warm to room temperature.
  • Immediately before serving, garnish with fruit, berries, sugar free chocolate sauce, sugar free caramel sauce, and/or salt flakes, as desired.

Notes

Tart shells can be made up to a week ahead of time and kept in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to use them. For longer storage, they can be frozen - just allow them to thaw fully before use.
Once filled, tarts should be eaten within a few days.
More than 17 grams of carbs per serving come from sugar alcohols, and 12 grams come from fiber, for a total of 29 grams of deductible carbs.
That leaves each tart at a max of 7 grams net carbs - assuming you're using a low carb protein powder.
In reality - with the protein powder I used - it's a few net carbs lower per serving.
See post for details on using the chocolate pastry dough to make one 11" tart, rather than 9 mini tarts.
