Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Erythritol
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Fresh cherries, pitted
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour and erythritol. Add the melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and salt, stirring until a dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch tart pan, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Place the tart crust in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the pitted cherries, xanthan gum, lemon juice, and an additional 2 tablespoons of erythritol.
Cook the cherries, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the cherries are tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Pour the cherry filling into the cooled tart crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the assembled tart for an additional 15 minutes until the cherry filling is set.
Allow the tart to cool to room temperature before serving or refrigerate for a chilled serving. Enjoy your low-carb cherry tart!
