Ingredients

Crust

• 1 cup almond flour
• ¼ cup cocoa powder
• ¼ cup Swerve Confectioners
• ¼ cup butter, melted

Filling

• 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
• ½ teaspoon glucomannan or xanthan gum
• 5 ounces unsweetened chocolate chopped
• ½ cup Swerve Confectioners
• ¼ cup allulose (or BochaSweet)
• 1 ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

• ½ cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoon Swerve confectioners
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• Sugar free red sprinkles

Instructions

Crust

• Lightly grease a 9-inch tart metal tart pan with a removable bottom (can also use a ceramic tart pan and simply cut pieces out).
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, and sweetener, breaking up any clumps. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture clumps together.
• Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.

Filling

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream to a simmer. Remove from heat and sprinkle the surface with the glucomannan, whisking to combine.
• Add the unsweetened chocolate and let sit 3 minutes to melt. Then add the sweeteners and extracts and whisk until smooth.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared crust. Refrigerate until firm, 2 to 3 hours. Use a knife to gently loosen the sides of the tart and push up from the bottom to release from the pan.

Topping

• In a medium bowl, beat the cream with the sweetener and vanilla until it holds stiff peaks. Pipe decoratively around the edge of the tart. Add sprinkles, if desired.
