Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Toast the almond flour in a dry pan over low heat until golden. Mix with the 35 g powdered erythritol and melted butter, press into a 6-inch (15 cm) loose-bottomed pan lined with a cake collar, and freeze about 20 minutes. 0:23
- Whip the 100 ml cream to soft peaks and refrigerate. Soak 2 gelatine sheets in cold water for 10 minutes. 1:19
- Pour the hot almond milk over the chopped chocolate, add the 120 g powdered erythritol and stir until smooth. Squeeze out the gelatine, microwave it 10 seconds to melt, and stir it in. 1:51
- Stir in 2 tbsp of the whipped cream, then fold in the rest. Spread over the crust and refrigerate 1 hour. 2:37
- Whip the 150 ml cream to soft peaks and chill; soak 3 gelatine sheets. Simmer the raspberries, 45 g erythritol and lemon juice over low heat about 5 minutes, purée, then press through a sieve. 3:19
- Mix half the purée into the whipped cream. Squeeze out and melt the gelatine (10 seconds in the microwave), stir it in, spread over the chocolate layer and refrigerate until set. 4:40
- Soak the last gelatine sheet, melt it the same way, stir it into the remaining purée and pour over as a glaze. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before slicing. 5:18
Tip. Gelatine powder works in place of the sheets: 1 tsp (4 g), 1 1/2 tsp (6 g) and 1/2 tsp (2 g). The raspberry seeds you sieve out are counted here, so the real carbs are a little lower.

Omega-39%
0.1 g a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (39%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
Vitamin C8%
6.9 mg a serve, mostly from fresh raspberries (95%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
Calcium7%
90 mg a serve, mostly from blanched almond flour (28%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.
Selenium6%

Folate4%
15 µg a serve, mostly from fresh raspberries (35%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.
Vitamin B123%
0.1 µg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (52%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
Vitamin D2%
0.3 µg a serve, mostly from unsweetened almond milk (40%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
Vitamin B62%
0 mg a serve, mostly from fresh raspberries (36%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.
