We have been lucky enough to eat this incredible, low carb, Dark Chocolate Tart recipe in our lives twice so far. The first time was when Matt tested this recipe out and it came out perfect. We instantly fell in love. The second time was for the video and we didn’t have the heart to throw any away, so we ate both. Now only if we can find a third time to make these without for the simple fact they are the perfect dessert, we’ll feel less bad about consuming so much chocolate tart in one months time frame!
Easy Tart Recipe
When I hear the word tart the last word I think of next is easy. Tarts have never seemed easy to make and I’ve never even wanted to take on the task, so this was all Matt. He was actually excited to try it out and for good reason – they are delicious beyond words can describe. He nailed it, and with such ease. The entire process of making these tarts start to finish is a lot simpler than I would have imagined and now I would feel comfortable making them weekly or for a house of guests! Most of the hard work is done using the immersion blender and chilling in the fridge. Exactly as I said before – easy.
Fancy Dessert Recipes That Are Easy To Make!

We assure you if we can make them, and we have no baking experience prior to starting our food blog, than you can too! Also, most if not all our recipes normally have a video that shows you step by step exactly how to make them!

I have played with this recipe a few days ago: I wanted to have a larger, deeper square tart in 8” square pan, so I doubled the chocolate and added sugar free pancake syrup. It worked!
The trick is that you must reduce the syrup because it’s made of sorbitol, which is only 65% as sweet as sugar. Boiling away water content down to half the volume really thickens the syrup. In my case, I boiled 1 cup of syrup down to half cup of syrup and added to chocolate/whipping cream/cream cheese mix. Baked for same time.
I guess I should have watched the video first.? What would you increase ingredients to to fit a full size tart pan?
Doubling it should be fine!
Would I increase ingredients to fit in regular size tart pan? My husband will flip if I buy one more kitchen thing for keto! Lol…
Doubling it should be enough!
Hour tart pan links lead to an 11” pan instead of a 4”. Just FYI, GIMF. ?
This recipe is amazing and I’m so excited to try it. I’m wondering if substituting Coconut Milk for the whipping cream is possible if I’m serving someone who can’t do dairy.
Thanks!
Coconut cream would be best.
Can I substitute granular swerve for the drops of stevia?
We recommend using powdered swerve, but yes you can replace it.
Hey, this sounds great. I have everything at home to make it except…a tart pan! Can I put both tarts’ worth into a regular glass pie pan? Thanks in advance!
Yes! You may want to try doubling the recipe.
Should you increase the baking time for a full size pie?
Thanks
I watch the video this recipe sounds amazing can’t wait to try it went on Amazon and ordered everything I needed because I didn’t have anything to make it with so when it gets here Tuesday I’m on top of it thanks for all your recipes and inspiration I’m fighting diabetes in the ketogenic diet has worked amazing for me I have not only lost over 60 pounds since last July but I have been keeping my blood sugars around a hundred and have gotten off my metformin and a blood pressure pill and other medication that the doctors just keep telling me I need more and more of and it just wasn’t working and with the diet and getting the sugar out of my system I’ve been able to do better without it so thank you again and keep up the wonderful videos an amazing information
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU TWO!!! This is my favorite NON-Keto dessert, I never thought I’d be able to have it on Keto! I am excited to try to this recipe! Less than 2 carbs/serving! YES!!!
In the video you put an egg in the crust and in the chocolate filling. Does the ingredient list need to be updated here or should the egg be left out of the crust?
– Steve
We updated the ingredients. Thanks 🙂
Looks like the egg is missing from the crust ingredients. The actual written recipe is missing too.
Written recipe is there now. Egg still missing 🙂
Looks Awesome! Easy! Will Try Soon.
You don’t have the directions past making the crust written here.
Is the a separate section for the filling? I know it’s in the video but its easier for me to cook from a written recipe. This filling looks amazing. I might even skip the crust.
The link goes to an 11 inch pan…Looking forward to trying these.
Ummm there are no instructions?!
Will coconut cream work in place of dairy?
It should, yes!
Hope to watch thw video, unfortunately, it is not available. ?
UNSUBSCRIBE ME PLEASE!!!
Wow!! This looks Amazing and simple!! thanks Matt & Megha!!!
