How to Make Keto Peanut Butter Brownie Tart

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.

Mix almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, salt, and baking powder. Stir in melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Press evenly into pan.

Bake for 12–15 minutes. Cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Mousse

Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.

In another bowl, mix peanut butter, sweetener, vanilla, and salt. Gently fold whipped cream into peanut butter mixture until smooth and fluffy.

Spread evenly over cooled brownie crust. Chill 30 minutes.

Step 3: Add Chocolate Ganache

Heat cream until just steaming. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit 1 minute, then stir until smooth.

Pour ganache over peanut butter layer and spread evenly. Chill until set, about 1 hour.

What to Serve with This Tart

  • Espresso or strong coffee
