Four simple ingredients come together to make a decadent, creamy dessert. We start with canned pumpkin puree for its mild flavour and smooth texture, then mix in melted unsweetened chocolate for richness and monk fruit sweetener and a little salt to round things out. The mixture chills until the chocolate re-solidifies and sets the “cake.” If you don’t have a 6-inch springform pan, you can use whatever you have on hand. An 8-inch square pan will work, too, yielding a dessert that you can cut like a snack cake.

Ingredients

Unsweetened baking chocolate squares

6 oz, chopped

Pumpkin puree

15 oz

Monk fruit sweetener with erythritol

½ cup(s)

Table salt

¼ tsp(s)

Instructions

  1. Place the chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High until the chocolate melts, 1 ½ to 2 minutes, stopping to stir every 30 seconds. Stir in the pumpkin, monk fruit sweetener, and salt until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
  2. Line a 6-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Spoon the chocolate mixture into the pan, smoothing out the top. Cover and chill until set, at least 4 hours or up to overnight. Slide a thin knife around the edge of the pan; remove the pan’s sides. Cut the cake into 8 slices.
  3. Serving size: 1 slice
