Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cherries (pitted, fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Erythritol or low-carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Amaretto extract (sugar-free)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sliced almonds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) or 6 individual ramekins.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, melted butter, amaretto extract, and vanilla extract.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
Spread half of the pitted cherries evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish or ramekins.
Pour the batter over the cherries, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Scatter the remaining cherries on top of the batter, gently pressing them down slightly.
If desired, sprinkle sliced almonds over the top for extra crunch and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the dessert is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
Let the dessert cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
