Equipment
- Food Processor
- Mini Tart Pans
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups super-fine almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup Swerve confectioners sweetener (or powdered erythritol)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups pre-made 5-Minute Keto Lemon Curd (or your favorite keto lemon curd recipe)
- Fresh mixed berries Optional, for topping
- a dollop homemade sugar-free whipped cream Optional, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your oven is perfectly hot for the crusts.
- In a food processor, combine the almond flour, melted butter, egg, Swerve confectioners sweetener, and vanilla extract. Pulse until a smooth, pliable dough forms – it’s really that simple!
- Gently roll the dough into a log, then slice it into 12 equal pieces. Take each piece, roll it into a small ball, then flatten it into a disc. Carefully press each disc into a greased, non-stick mini tart pan to form your neat little crusts.
- Lightly prick the bottom of each dough shell a few times with a fork. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they achieve a lovely light golden brown hue. While these bake, you can finish preparing your delicious lemon curd if it's not already done!
- Once baked, allow your tart crusts to cool completely in the pan before gently removing them. This helps them firm up and prevents crumbling. Then, spoon your rich lemon curd into each cooled tart shell, filling them perfectly.
- Place the filled tarts in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This crucial step lets the lemon curd set beautifully and firm up, ensuring a perfect texture.
- Once chilled and firm, top each mini tart with your favorite fresh berries for a burst of color and flavor. For an extra healthy and indulgent touch, add a dollop of homemade sugar-free whipped cream.
- Keep any leftover tartlets in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze them for longer enjoyment.
