Ingredients
Chocolate Shortbread Crust
3/4 cup superfine almond flour
4 tablespoons salted butter or palm shortening
3 tablespoons raw cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
pinch salt (if using palm shortening)
Thin Mint Tart Filling
1/4 cup stevia-sweetened chocolate chips (such as Lily's brand)
Directions
Chocolate Shortbread Crust
1Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2Combine everything in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
3Mix on medium speed until it comes together to form a ball of dough.
4Press evenly into a 6- or 7-inch tart pan, going up the sides.
5Prick the crust in several places with a fork.
6Bake 12 to 13 minutes.
Thin Mint Tart Filling
1Melt the butter with the sweetener, chocolate chips, and salt over medium heat in a small saucepan.
2Add the egg yolks, one at a time, whisking vigorously between each.
3If it seems like the chocolate is going to "seize up", keep whisking vigorously and it will come back together.
4Last, whisk in vanilla and peppermint essential oil.
5Pour directly into cooled Chocolate Shortbread Crust.
6Chill 2 hours or until set.
7Serve and garnish with fresh mint if desired.
