Espresso-Infused Flourless Chocolate Torte

Prep time: 15 mins | Cook time: 25 mins | Servings: 8 slices (1 slice per serving)This elegant, restaurant-quality dessert delivers a rich, velvety crumb using premium cocoa and healthy fats. The addition of espresso powder deepens the chocolate flavor profile, yielding a decadent treat that keeps your readers in deep ketosis without compromising on texture.

Ingredients-150g high-quality 100% unsweetened cacao baking chocolate, finely chopped
-115g unsalted grass-fed butter (plus extra for greasing)
-100g powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
-3 large eggs, room temperature
-30g Dutch-process cocoa powder (sifted)
-1 teaspoon instant espresso powder1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
-1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
-Fresh raspberries, for garnish (optional)

InstructionsPreheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease an 8-inch springform pan with butter. Line the bottom with a round sheet of parchment paper, then lightly dust the sides with a pinch of cocoa powder.Melt the Chocolate Base: Combine the chopped unsweetened chocolate and grass-fed butter in a heatproof glass bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water (a bain-marie), ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir frequently until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.Whisk the Aromatics: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sifted cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, and sea salt.Whip the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and powdered sweetener together using a hand mixer on medium-high speed for 2–3 minutes until the mixture becomes pale, slightly thickened, and volumised. Stir in the vanilla extract.Fold and Combine: Gently pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped eggs, folding carefully with a silicone spatula to maintain the air bubbles. Once partially combined, fold in the cocoa-espresso mixture until a glossy, uniform batter forms. Do not overmix.Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared springform pan, smoothing the top with your spatula. Bake for 22–25 minutes. The center should still have a very slight, elegant jiggle, while the edges will be firm and set.Chill and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Run a thin knife around the edge before releasing the springform sides. For the cleanest slices, chill the torte in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before cutting. Serve with a dusting of cocoa powder and fresh raspberries.
