  • 1.5 tbsp powdered keto sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit)

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tbsp butter, melted

  • 1 tbsp heavy cream

  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 square (about 10g) 90% dark chocolate or keto chocolate bar

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a microwave-safe mug (about 15–20 seconds).

  • Add egg, heavy cream, and vanilla. Stir well.

  • Add almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, and salt. Mix until smooth.

  • Press the chocolate square into the center of the batter.
