1/3 cup water
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
3/4 cup Lakanto Baking or Classic Sweetener**
12 ounces  unsweetened baking chocolate
2/3 cup butter
20 drops Lakanto chocolate liquid sweetener (optional)
4 eggs
2 cups Keto whipped cream***
12 fresh raspberries
12 mint leaves (optional)

Method:
Preheat oven to 350*. Line the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan with a circle of parchment paper. Wrap the outside of the prepared pan with aluminum foil. 
In a small saucepan, heat the water, salt and sweetener over medium heat until all of the ingredients are blended and dissolved.
Melt the chocolate, in a large glass bowl, in a microwave oven for 30 seconds. Remove and stir. Repeat, until the chocolate is completely melted.
Cut the butter into tablespoon portions and add the to the melted chocolate. Mix with an electric mixer until blended. Beat in the water and sweetener mixture. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating to blend after each addition. 
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan. Place the springform pan into a larger pan and add enough water to the larger pan to 1 inch deep. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from the water bath and allow to cool on a baking rack. Chill overnight, in the refrigerator. 
Remove the side of the pan. Slice into 12 portions, Garnish each portion with a dollop of whipped cream, a raspberry and mint leaf.

**The Baking sweetener is a much finer texture than the Classic sweetener and really produce superior baked goods. (The Classic sweetener can be made finer by blending in a food processor.)

***For Perfect Keto Whipped Cream: 
Beat together 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 3 tablespoons Lakanto Classic or Powdered sweetener and one envelope "Whip It". (The Whip It helps the whipped cream hold it's shape and is optional.)
