Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and erythritol with a pinch of salt.
Add the softened butter and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix them together until a dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 6-cup muffin tin to form tart shells. Ensure the dough is smooth and even.
Bake the tart shells in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until they begin to lightly brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool.
In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the coconut milk until it just begins to steam. Do not allow it to boil.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and stevia until well combined.
Slowly pour the hot coconut milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Pour the egg custard mixture into the prepared tart shells, filling them almost to the top.
Bake in the oven for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the custard is just set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Allow the tarts to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the custard to fully set.
Serve chilled and enjoy your low carb classic egg tarts!
