- ¼ cup natvia
- Pinch salt
- 50g dark chocolate, min. 70% cocoa
- ½ cup pure cream
- ¼ cup natvia
- 2 tsp vanilla essence
- 100g cream cheese, softened
Method
Preheat oven to 160°C and use butter/cooking spray to grease 24-hole mini muffin tray.
- Mix all tart case ingredients in a medium size bowl until they form a dough ball.
- Take spoonful of mixture and roll into small balls then press into well greased muffin pan to form the tart cases, ensuring the sides and bottom are of even thickness.
- Use a fork to prick some holes in the side and bottom of cases.
- Bake in middle of preheated oven 15 mins or untilgolden. Cool on wire rack while making filling.
- Melt chocolate by breaking into pieces and placing in microwave-safe bowl on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir. If not fully melted, microwave further 30 secs at a time if needed.
- Place cream, natvia and vanilla in separate medium bowl and use hand beater to beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Turn beater to low and gradually add chunks of softened cream cheese. Continue beating until combined and smooth, scraping down sides of bowl to incorporate.
- Add melted chocolate to mixture and beat together on low speed, scraping down sides of bowl to incorporate fully.
- Spoon tablespoons of chocolate filling into tart cases and enjoy immediately or refrigerate for an hour to firm up prior to serving with fresh berries on top.

About Linda
After changing to a low-sugar real food diet over 3 years ago and experiencing huge health improvements, Linda wanted to create some Australian-made products to help others on a similar journey. The biggest challenge she had at the start of changing to a low sugar eating style was finding an easy replacement for her beloved sweet treats, especially at family celebrations. Drawing on her background as a cookbook author and food writer, Linda spent many months in the kitchen fine-tuning the recipes that are used in these mixes. Please check out Linda’s website for more details and know that she’ll be doing a super happy dance every time someone places an order.
