Equipment

  • 1 22 cm (9-inch) springform pan

Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

  • 120 g almond flour
  • 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 5 tablespoons granular erythritol
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter

For the Filling:

  • 600 ml heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 70 g powdered erythritol
  • 1-2 drops green food coloring
  • Mint extract (for the quantity, follow the instructions on the bottle)
  • Dark chocolate chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

  • In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, and granular erythritol.
  • Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 22 cm (approximately 9-inch) springform pan, ensuring it goes up the sides about 3-4 cm.
  • Place the crust in the refrigerator to cool while you make the filling.

Make the Filling:

  • In a saucepan, combine the water and gelatin, letting it sit for 1 minute to bloom.
  • Add 400 ml of heavy cream and heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking continuously until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is warm.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and powdered erythritol until smooth.
  • Gradually add 250 ml of the warm cream mixture to the yolks, whisking to combine.
  • Pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the green food coloring and mint extract.
  • Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the remaining 200 ml of heavy cream to stiff peaks.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled mint mixture until well combined.

Assemble the Cake:

  • Pour the mint filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle chopped dark chocolate over the top for garnish.
  • Refrigerate the cake for at least 3 hours to allow it to set fully.
