Carbs in Avocado
Avocado is relatively low in carbohydrates compared to many other fruits and vegetables, making it a popular choice for those following low-carb or ketogenic diets. Here is the approximate carbohydrate content in a standard serving size of avocado, which is about ½ of a medium-sized avocado (about 100 grams):
Total Carbohydrates: Approximately 8.5 grams
Dietary Fiber: Approximately 6.7 grams
Net Carbohydrates: Net carbs are calculated by subtracting the dietary fiber from the total carbohydrates. For avocado, the net carbs are approximately 1.8 grams per 100 grams.
Avocado Tart Filling
Using avocado as a chocolate tart filling is an excellent idea, especially for those looking to create a creamy, rich, and healthier dessert option. Avocados have a smooth and buttery texture, which works exceptionally well in creating a velvety chocolate filling.
Ingredients
This is a simple recipe with just a few keto pantry ingredients.
- Hazelnuts - these can be substitute with other keto-friendly nuts. We use hazelnuts as they are a great flavor combination with chocolate.
- Almond Flour - roasted almond nuts can usual be used for the base.
- Avocado - ensure that they are ripe and soft, but still green with no brown spots.
- Low carb sweetener - we used allulose as it dissolves well without an icy after taste. However, any other low carb sweetener such as monkfruit or Swerve can be used.
- Cocoa powder - use a sugar free cocoa powder.
- Coconut oil - organic is preferable if you have it
- Salt - salt helps to enhance the chocolate flavor.
Recipe Suggestions
Add warm spices such as cinnamon, ginger or nutmeg to the avocado filling.
For a creamier filling, add coconut cream to the chocolate avocado filling. It may require longer chilling time before serving.
If the crust of your tart becomes too soft after refrigeration, you can briefly pop it in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes before serving. This will help it regain its firmness without affecting the overall taste.

Storage
After preparing the tart, cover it with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. Then, store it in the refrigerator. The cold temperature will help preserve the freshness of the tart and prevent the avocado filling from becoming too soft.
Avoid Freezing
While some desserts can be frozen, it's not recommended to freeze a tart with an avocado-based filling. Avocados have a high water content, and freezing them can alter their texture and result in a mushy consistency when thawed.
Consume within a few days
For the best taste and texture, it's advisable to consume the tart within 2-3 days of preparation. Avocado-based fillings can start to oxidize and lose their vibrant color over time, so it's best to enjoy the tart while it's fresh.
