I converted a recipe that I found on Linda's low carb menu and recipe site and was looking for a way to find out how many carbs it now had. You can visit www.NutritionData.com to enter the ingredients and get your updated nutrition facts.

Here is the recipe I changed with the changes listed. My changes are listed in blue.

NOTE: I made this at first with only 1 packet of Stevia and if I make it again I will add another half pack as it could use to be a tad bit sweeter.

CHOCOLATE MINT TRUFFLE TORTE Linda's link
6 ounces Valor 70% cocoa dark chocolate with MINT, chopped *
1/2 cup butter, cut up
Pinch salt
1 cup granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda or 1.5 packets of Stevia powder
1 tablespoon cocoa, sifted
3 eggs
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
Whipped cream, optional

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and butter on 50% power for 2 minutes or until the butter and chocolate are melted, stirring once or twice. Whisk until completely smooth. Whisk in the salt, sweetener, cocoa, eggs, cream and vanilla. Whisk until well blended. Pour the chocolate mixture into a greased 9-inch pie plate.

Bake at 350º degrees for 15 minutes or until the torte has puffed around the edges but the center is almost firm to the touch but still slightly jiggly. Cool completely. Chill well before serving. Serve with whipped cream if desired.

Makes 8-10 servings
Freezing not recommended

*Using the 70% cocoa is just fine with my changes as the carbs from the splenda are now not included in the carb total for this item.

With Stevia:
Per 1/8 recipe: 227 Calories; 22g Fat; 3g Protein; 5g Carbohydrate; 1g Dietary Fiber; 4g Net Carbs
Per 1/10 recipe: 182 Calories; 18g Fat; 2g Protein; 4g Carbohydrate; 1g Dietary Fiber; 3g Net Carbs
