Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 30 grams Coconut flour
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 40 grams Erythritol
- 1 pinch Salt
- 180 ml Heavy cream
- 100 ml Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 large Egg yolks
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and a pinch of salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Blend using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the egg and mix until the dough comes together. If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of water.
Press the dough evenly into 8 tartlet tins, ensuring an even thickness. Prick the bottoms with a fork.
Bake the tart crusts for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let them cool slightly.
While the tart shells are cooling, prepare the custard filling. In a saucepan, combine erythritol, water, and heavy cream. Heat gently until erythritol dissolves, then remove from heat.
In a bowl, beat the egg yolks lightly, then slowly whisk in the warm cream mixture. Add vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
Strain the custard mixture through a fine mesh sieve to ensure a smooth filling.
Fill the tart shells with the custard mixture, leaving a little bit of space at the top.
Bake the filled tart shells in the oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly egg tarts!
