Silk tart is the softer cousin of the ganache version, whipped so the filling sets light instead of dense. The chocolate flavor stays mild and the texture almost melts on the tongue. I blind-bake the shell so it stays crisp under the soft fill.
Decadent Keto Chocolate Silk Tart
This luxurious tart features a buttery almond flour crust filled with a rich chocolate silk filling made from dark chocolate, eggs, and cream. It’s not only easy to prepare but also takes just about 1 hour to chill and set, serving up to 8 people.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup erythritol or other ket-friendly sweetener
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 oz sugar-free dark chocolate, chopped
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules (optional)
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
- Shaved dark chocolate for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
- Shape the Crust: Press the dough into a tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- Bake the Crust: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- Make the Filling: In a heatproof bowl, melt dark chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler. Let it cool slightly.
- Combine Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, and coffee granules. Gradually add the melted chocolate, whisking until smooth.
- Pour Filling: Pour the chocolate mixture into the cooled crust and spread evenly.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until the filling is set.
- Serve: Once set, slice the tart, serve it topped with whipped cream and shaved chocolate if desired.

Whip the cream to soft peaks before folding so the silk holds its air. Chill well before slicing or it slumps. A few raspberries on top add a tart contrast to the gentle chocolate.
