Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan or tartlet pan.
In a medium bowl, mix together almond flour, 0.25 cups of erythritol sweetener, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and crumbly.
Divide the crust mixture evenly among the cups of the prepared muffin pan, pressing firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides to form a small crust.
Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until they start to turn golden brown. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of additional erythritol sweetener, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
Carefully remove the cooled crusts from the pan and arrange them on a serving platter.
Spoon or pipe the mascarpone filling evenly into each tart shell.
Top each tartlet with a selection of low-carb fruits such as raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
Optionally, garnish each tartlet with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving for a chilled dessert.
