I’ve made this chocolate torte many times, but this is the first time I made the low-carb, keto version.

If you are interested in trying this flourless chocolate torte, you can definitely use any kind of bittersweet chocolate and powdered sugar, instead of the chocolate (I used Lily’s Dark Chocolate, that I get on Amazon or at Whole Food) and Swerve powdered sweetener.
The ingredients for this keto chocolate tort are :
- sugar-free
- dark chocolate of your choice
- unsalted butter
- powdered erythritol (I used Swerve)
- salt (optional)
- vanilla extract (optional).
You don’t even need an electric mixer to make this easy flourless chocolate torte.
All you need to do is melt the chocolate and butter separately, then mix together.
Beat the eggs with powdered low-carb sweetener, add the salt and vanilla (both optional products).
Let the chocolate mixture cool for 5 minutes, then add to the eggs, mix until incorporated.
Bake in a pan with a removable bottom.
How to bake flourless chocolate torte?
You have two options with baking this chocolate flourless torte.
You can either bake is as it is or use a water bath. Using a water bath when baking a flourless cake makes it softer, more moist and smooth, almost like creme brûlée.
It does take longer to bake and you need to make sure that the pan is wrapped well, before you put it in the water bath. Also don’t let the water boil, because the texture of the cake will not be smooth.
I did not use a water bath for baking this Low-Carb, Keto Flourless Chocolate Torte.
How to serve this flourless chocolate torte?
I love it on its own, but you can top it with whipped cream, berries or chocolate shavings. And of course chocolate torte goes well with ice cream.

How to store this Keto flourless chocolate torte?

Here you have given the recipe for flourless-chocolate. The steps of the recipe given to me here are exactly what I found in UniQ and here I think hand blenders will be used more.
Thanks for sharing a great chocolate recipe.
The most outstanding recipe and easy beyond. Thank you
Thank you!!!
I made this yesterday and it was delicious. It did end up a bit on the dry side, however. I’d make it again, regardless. I do see your reply to a comment above re: the use of a fan oven and I was wondering if you were referring specifically to a convection oven or simply one where the fan runs all the time. Any other ideas on getting a moister result? Lower temp? Shorter cook time? Mine was in for maybe 46 or 47 minutes.
Hi Chris, sorry the cake turned a bit dry. I meant convection oven. I’d suggest that you reduce the cooking time, since the cake is flourless, it can cook in shorter time.try like 35 minutes, the too should be set. I’ve used a few different ovens in the last 2 years and cooking time varies a lot.
I served this topped with chocolate mocha ganache. Heavenly! I also used Hershey’s sugar-free chocolate chips as well.
