- Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Mix the almond flour and salt, then rub and flatten the cold butter cubes into it with your fingers until crumbly. Add the egg and bring it together into a dough. 0:38
- Press the dough evenly into a greased 9-inch (23 cm) loose-bottomed tart pan and freeze for 15 minutes. 2:13
- Prick the base, line with baking paper and baking weights and bake 15 minutes; remove the paper and weights and bake another 15 minutes. Turn the oven down to 150°C (300°F). 2:43
- Put the chopped chocolate, powdered erythritol and salt (if using) in a bowl. Bring the cream to the boil, pour it over, leave 1 minute, then stir until smooth. 3:25
- Whisk in the softened butter, then the egg, then the almond milk until silky. 4:44
- Pour into the crust and bake at 150°C (300°F) for about 20 minutes, until set. Cool completely before removing from the pan; chill for a firmer texture. 5:54
Tip. Decorate with a few raspberries or strawberries, a dusting of powdered sweetener or flaky salt, or serve with crème fraîche (all optional). Keeps a week in the fridge or months in the freezer.

Vitamin B126%
0.1 µg a serve, mostly from egg (31%). 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.
Omega-36%
0.1 g a serve, mostly from whipping or heavy cream (66%). 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.
Folate5%

Vitamin C0%
0.1 mg a serve, mostly from whipping or heavy cream (100%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
