Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:

Set the stage for greatness by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 7- or 8-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. This is where your masterpiece will come to life.

2. Melt Chocolate and Butter:

In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate, butter, and heavy cream. Melt gently over a double boiler or in 20-second intervals in the microwave, stirring frequently until it’s a velvety, smooth dream. Set it aside to cool slightly—patience is a virtue, even in chocolate.

3. Whip Eggs and Sweetener:

Grab your mixer (or your strongest whisk arm) and beat the eggs, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt in a separate bowl. Whip until the mixture is pale, frothy, and doubles in volume—a transformation as magical as the dessert itself. This should take about 3–5 minutes.

4. Combine Mixtures:

Now, gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs. Do this in batches to keep that gorgeous volume intact. This is where the magic of lightness meets the richness of chocolate.

5. Bake the Torte:

Pour the luscious batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even bake. Pop it into the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is just set. You’re looking for moist crumbs on a toothpick—not wet batter. Trust the process.

6. Cool and Serve:

Allow the torte to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before carefully removing the springform edge. Serve it slightly warm or chilled, topped with mascarpone or unsweetened whipped cream. Add a dusting of keto-friendly powdered sweetener if you’re feeling fancy.
