Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin to prevent the tarts from sticking.
In a bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, 2 tablespoons of erythritol, and salt. Mix well.
Melt the butter and add it to the dry mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Divide the dough among 6 muffin cups, pressing it into the base and up the sides to form a crust. Prick the bottoms with a fork lightly to prevent bubbling.
Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, until they are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
While the crusts are baking, prepare the egg custard. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, remaining erythritol, vanilla extract, and almond milk until well combined.
Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into another bowl to ensure the custard is smooth.
Pour the egg mixture into the partially baked crusts, distributing it evenly among the 6 cups.
Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 15-17 minutes, or until the custard is just set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
Remove the tarts from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before gently removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the egg tarts warm or at room temperature, and enjoy a guilt-free low carb treat!
