Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cup erythritol
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups fresh or frozen cherries
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix together almond flour, 1/4 cup of erythritol, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and add it to the almond flour mixture along with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk 2 eggs together and set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 3 cups of cherries, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/2 cup of water, and 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens and bubbles.
Remove the cherry mixture from heat and let it cool slightly before slowly adding it to the whisked eggs, stirring constantly to avoid scrambling.
Pour the cherry filling into the prepared tart crust.
Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the filling is set.
Allow the tart to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly dessert!
