Ingredients in Healthy Keto Chocolate Tart
It has a coconut and almond flour crust that is lightly sweetened with monk fruit.
For the filling, it is made with avocados! Adds tons of healthy fats, sweetened with monk fruit, and made chocolate with cacao powder.
Types of Avocado to Use
I know what you’re thinking. “Avocados and chocolate? Sounds gross.” I swear to you, you cannot taste the avocado whatsoever!
The secret is to use avocados that are just barely ripe, almost on the hard side. The riper the avocado, the more avocado flavor. Barely ripe avocados have hardly any flavor, just a silky texture, making them perfect for this healthy chocolate tart. You will want to go through every single avocado at the market and find the 2 perfect ones. You want an avocado that has just the tiniest, slightest give when you squeeze it.
To really make sure this would pass the ultimate taste test, I had my meat and potatoes loving dad give it a taste. I didn’t tell him anything about the ingredients. He ate the whole thing, and told me how good it was. He thought I was lying when I told him it was made with avocado’s. But it’s true!
If I can sneak it past those 2 guys, this recipe can get past anybody.
And, no one at the dinner party could tell this was a “healthy” dessert either. This recipe is like magic!

Healthy Chocolate Tart (Keto, GF, Vegan)
Ingredients
Crust
- 1/2 cup unsweetened, raw coconut flakes
- 1-1/2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons monk fruit
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted, plus more for brushing the spring pan
Chocolate filling
- 2 medium size avocado, just barely ripe, on the firmer side
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup monk fruit, or more to taste
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Garnish
- 1 pint of raspberries
- coconut whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with the oven rack in the center position. Brush a nonstick 9" spring form pan with melted coconut oil. Set aside.
- In a food processor, combine the coconut flakes, almond flour monk fruit + coconut oil. Pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand. It should hold together when pinched.
- Dump the coconut almond crust into the spring form pan. Gently spread the crumbs to make an even layer, and to come up the side of the pan about 1/4". Once the crumbs are even, press the crumbs in with firm pressure.
- Bake the crust for 14 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove the crust, and allow to cool on the counter for a few minutes, then transfer to the freezer for 15 minutes to cool completely.
- While the crust is cooling in the freezer, make the chocolate filling. Combine all ingredients in a food processor, and blend until the mixture is smooth without any lumps, about 2 minutes. You may need to scrape down the bowl half way thru.
- Pour the chocolate filling onto the cooled crust, and spread into an even layer. Cool the tart in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- After chilling, remove from the springform pan and garnish with fresh raspberries.
- Slice, and serve with coconut whipped cream and additional raspberries.
- Leftovers will keep in an airtight container refrigerated for 3 days.

can you substitute the monk fruit with smth lese i cant find any
Yes! If you don’t need it to be low carb/sugar you can use white sugar.
Is it a 1-1 conversion to sub maple syrup or coconut sugar for monk fruit?
I haven’t recipe tested the tart with maple syrup or coconut sugar, but I would probably use 1/3 cup of either maple syrup or coconut sugar to 1 cup monk fruit Kate. Monk fruit is quite a bit sweeter than maple syrup and coconut sugar. Taste it to adjust the sweetness. Let me know how it turns out! I sure hope you like it!
This was absolutely incredible!!!! Def satisfied my sweet tooth! My husband had no clue there were avocados in it, he was blown away! Such a rich flavor and silky texture!! Love the coconut crust too! Def will become a staple in the house!
Yeah! I am so happy my tart satisfied your sweet tooth Nicole! I just love that your husband was blown away by it. So glad it will become a staple in your home.
I don’t even know where to start, this is so delicious! The almond flour coconut crust has a fantastic texture and bite to it and the chocolate filling is so creamy and decadent! The filling could be awesome just on its own as a pudding/mousse as well, my kids loved testing a spoonful of it before it went in the crust! Love this, will definitely make again! Thanks Natalie for the wonderful recipient, they are always a hit!
I love that it turned out creamy and decadent Jen. Even better that your kids liked it too!
I loved how this turned out. I substituted swerve for monk fruit. Really rich, so I like having extra berries on top. The fruit is a great combo with the rich chocolate. Great recipe! Would be awesome to take for a get together. Definitely would impress.
I ment *substituted monk fruit for swerve*
I am so happy you liked my tart Zoey! I agree, it is so chocolaty that serving it with lots of berries really balances the richness. I am so glad you found it impressive, that is a lovely compliment!
i think for sure the problem was too much cacao powder. i want to try it again, but spoon it into the cup, & also maybe have an extra avocado on hand if it needs some more. if that doesn’t work, i can try cocoa powder instead (it’s just i have the cacao, so i want to use it, you know?
you didn’t imply anything negative at all, don’t worry! but obvs, i did do something wrong w/the recipe or it would have been delicious ?
❤️ you & ❤️ your recipes! ???
Let me know how it turns out next time with less cacoa powder Jessica. Having an extra avocado on hand is a great idea. I love solving these mysteries. If I can figure out how a recipe could have gone wrong, it will help other people not have a recipe failure! I sure hope it turns out perfect for you next time.
IT CAME OUT AMAZING!!! i spooned the cacao powder into the measure, i used an extra avocado half, and i doubled the monkfruit. it was delicious! but my mom thought it needed milk so i added a can of coconut cream, & I HAD TO STOP MYSELF FROM EATING THE ENTIRE THING!
Yeah! That makes me so happy Jessica! I’ve been thinking about you and hoping the next one turned out awesome. Thank goodness it did! Thanks so much for letting me know. You just made my day!
Delicious, thanks so much!
I am so glad you liked my tart Dawn. I am so happy it turned out delicious!
Dear, I want to try this recipe. I live in Gulf region and I haven’t come across monk fruit sweetner. please suggest a replacement for it. I will be thankful.
You can substitute coconut sugar for the monk fruit Brishna. You can also order monk fruit online. I sure hope this helps! I hope you enjoy the tart.
this looks AMAZING! have you ever made just the filling? w/out the crust? kinda like a pudding?
When I’ve made it I have always made the crust, but it would be delicious as a pudding type dessert Jessica. I’ve actually had a few commenters say they have enjoyed it that way. I sure hope you like it.
ok so i made this & it was so bitter ☹️ i followed the recipe exactly & idk why it was so awful. maybe less cacao powder? maybe less monkfruit? maybe more avocado? tbh i don’t love monkfruit, it has a terrible chemical taste, tho supposedly it shouldn’t? the texture was amazing & i couldn’t taste avocado at all – but maybe mine were too small? have you ever measured how much avocado w/out the pit or skin you use?
is it possible it needs the crust to taste good?
everyone seems to love this, so idk what went wrong ?♀️ this is the first recipe of your that isn’t 100% a winner ☹️
Well shoot! I am so bummed that your tart turned out bitter Jessica. I have made this countless times and never, ever had a bitter or chemical taste. I wonder if one of your ingredients has gone bad? I haven’t measured the avocado but I just use 2 medium sized and it works every time. Again, I am really sorry it didn’t turn out. I am stumped!
i literally bought the cacao powder & the avocados the morning i made it, & the monkfruit i bought in january & only opened a few weeks ago. so, both v fresh.
i generally don’t buy or eat avocado bc i don’t like the taste or texture, so maybe i guessed wrong for the size? maybe mine were too small?
do you scoop the cacao into the 1/2 cup measure? or spoon it in? i scooped, so maybe it just had too much?
it’s not that big a deal, i think i’m just one of the few that doesn’t tolerate monkfruit, like the sweetness never canceled the bitterness of the cacao. or maybe i should have used cocoa powder instead, but i thought they were interchangeable so ?♀️
I do spoon the cacoa powder into a half cup measure Jessica. Maybe cocoa powder would be a bit smoother for you. The avocado to me is not a bitter taste at all, it’s more of a buttery mild flavor. I sure didn’t mean to imply you did anything wrong with the recipe, I just haven’t experienced a bitter or chemical taste. Sure wish I could have you over for a slice of this tart!
I made just the filling and served with coconut shreds and raspberries. The chocolate filling is so rich, thick, creamy, and does NOT taste at all like avocados. I used a mix between munk fruit and coconut sugar for the sweetener. This is such a quick and easy dessert. It came together in no time at all! I’ll be making again for sure!
I am so glad you liked the filling for the chocolate tart Emily. Isn’t it amazing that it does not taste like avocados at all? I love that it is filled with healthy fats.
Made this for Valentine’s Day dessert and it was AMAZING. The hubs raved about it and even asked me to make it when we visit his parents. He was SHOOK when I told him it was made with avocado. <3
I am so happy you and your hubby liked my tart Emily! Isn’t it amazing it is so tasty yet healthy? I love it!
This is so amazingly yummy and easy to make. I’ll be making this again. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
I am so happy you liked my tart Sara! I am so glad it was yummy and easy to make. That is fantastic that you will be making it again.
I was hesitant to make this as my Thanksgiving contribution, but it’s really good! The texture was a little too dense for me, so I folded in half of the coconut whipped cream and it’s amazing. Can’t wait for all of my meat-eating in-laws to try this.
I am so happy you made my chocolate tart for Thanksgiving Shauna! I sure hope your in-laws liked it. That’s a fantastic idea to fold in coconut cream to make it a lighter texture. I’ll have to try that!
