Ingredients

• 200 grams Almond flour
• 100 grams Low-carb amaretti biscuits (sugar-free, crushed)
• 80 grams Granulated erythritol or your preferred low-carb sweetener
• 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 4 large Eggs
• 100 milliliters Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, crushed low-carb amaretti biscuits, erythritol, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the melted butter, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Ensure there are no lumps and the batter is evenly combined.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the torta from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack.

Step 8

Once the cake is completely cool, dust the top with powdered erythritol for a finishing touch.

Step 9

Slice and serve as is, or pair it with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream for an extra treat.
