For those sensitive to erythritol try replacing it with stevia. I alter the recipe to 60g of erythritol and 1/4 teaspoon of pure stevia powder and it works just fine.
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees c. Line a 23cm baking dish with non-stick paper.
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a small pan over low heat, then remove and allow to cool slightly.
- Whisk the eggs, erythritol, ground almonds, orange juice and zest together in a separate bowl and mix well.
- When the chocolate mixture has cooled slightly, add it to the egg mixture.
- Pour mix into the prepared pan, cover with foil (or an oven proof saucepan lid) and bake for 25 minutes.
- Turn off oven, remove the foil and leave in oven for another 5 minutes to set the top.
- Allow to cool then slice into 16 pieces. Store in the fridge. Also freezes well
