Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 g almond flour
- 10 g coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 30 g granulated erythritol
- 50 g unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100 g sugar-free orange jelly
- 100 g dark chocolate (at least 85% cocoa, sugar-free)
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a muffin tray with paper liners.
In a bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and erythritol well to combine.
In a separate bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Add eggs and vanilla extract, then whisk together.
Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, stirring until smooth and fully incorporated.
Divide the batter evenly into the lined muffin tray, filling about one third full, to make 12 small sponge bases.
Bake the sponge bases in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and set. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
Once cooled, spoon a small amount (about a teaspoon) of sugar-free orange jelly onto each sponge base, spreading gently to cover the top.
Melt the dark chocolate and heavy cream together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth and glossy.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before spooning chocolate over the jelly layer on each cake, allowing it to drip slightly over the sides for an authentic look.
Let the chocolate set at room temperature or in the fridge for quicker setting.
Serve once fully set. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
