This Keto Flourless Chocolate Torte is decadent, sweet, AND low-carb. It’s a great keto dessert for special occasions or just a random Tuesday.
I’m so excited to share this Keto Flourless Chocolate Torte with you guys. Not only because it is the definition of decadent, but also because it is part of my favorite time of year, Five-Ingredient February (which means it’s also just in time for Valentine’s Day).
On my third date with Lauren, I cooked dinner for her. Though she denies it, I’m pretty sure that was the exact moment she fell in love with me. I didn’t have the skills to pull off a flourless chocolate cake then so I bought a pecan pie instead. After I got it home I took it out of the packaging and put it in the oven so it appeared to be homemade. This torte is obviously homemade but it’s just as easy.
As always, just because I cook/bake in a cast-iron skillet doesn’t mean you have to. Any similar-sized cake pan or oven-safe baking dish will work just fine. The only difference is you may end up with square servings of cake rather than slices. Otherwise, the only thing you may need to adjust is baking time depending on the size of your bakeware. I know some folks are hesitant to cook certain things in cast iron because it supposedly holds onto flavors, but if your pan is well-seasoned you need not worry.
This flourless chocolate cake is perfect for any type of celebration; romantic date night, birthdays, Fridays, you name it.
Keto Pro Tip:
Are you ready for this?… Your mind is about to be blown. Take your leftovers and smush them all together, then roll out into smaller truffle sized balls. That allowed me to fit small bites of cake into my mouth macros easier. Just divide the nutritional information of the leftovers by the number of balls and voila, quick easy bite-sized chocolatey goodness. It also works awesome as a road trip snack since the balls are more portable than a slice of cake, no fork needed.

This looks so good!
Sometimes you just need a dessert. I will be trying this – in my cast iron too. Just a random question here… I only use a mild brush or scrubber and hot water on my CI. How do you clean yours? (I do sometimes have flavor carry-overs such as when I cook bacon) I assume using the parchment paper will eliminate any flavors transferring.
Hi Jessie, we have a how to clean cast iron post here on CIK, just search for it in the search bar. We typically just rinse and wipe our out unless there’s something super stuck on. I can honestly say that we never really have flavors transfer.
16 tablespoons butter is equivalent to ? in onces? Thank you in advance for responding.
16 tablespoons of butter would be one cup, 8 ounces.
Are the chocolate chips milk chocolate? Semi Sweet?
They’re Lily’s dark chocolate – sugar free
15 oz. of Lily’s chips is almost 2 bags. Pricey torte!
I only have a 12-inch cast iron pan, would that work?
Yes!
Would Lakanto Monk Fruit sweetener work as well?
I would assume so but we haven’t tested it.
Do leftovers have to be refrigerated? Or what’s the best way to store?
Refrigerate covered with foil or slice and store in a lidded container.
