Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F) and line an 8-inch tart pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, and 50 grams of erythritol sweetener. Mix well.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave or saucepan until liquid, then pour it into the flour mixture. Add the salt and stir until a dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared tart pan using your fingers or the back of a spoon. Ensure it covers the base and up the sides slightly, forming a crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool while preparing the filling.
In another bowl, beat together the egg, remaining 20 grams of erythritol, vanilla extract, almond extract, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
Evenly distribute the pitted and halved cherries over the baked crust.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the cherries, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
Sprinkle the almond flakes evenly over the top of the filling.
Bake the tart in the oven for 20 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the Cherry Bakewell to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your low carb treat!
