Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
To make the tart shells, in a medium bowl combine the almond flour, 0.25 cup of granulated erythritol, and salt.
Melt 0.25 cup of the unsalted butter and add it to the almond flour mixture along with the egg and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and press each portion into the base and sides of each muffin cup to form a tart shell.
For the filling, in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the remaining 0.25 cup of unsalted butter.
Add the golden monk fruit sweetener and heavy cream to the melted butter and stir until well combined.
Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Distribute the chopped pecans evenly into each tart shell. Pour the filling mixture over the pecans in each shell until just full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges of the tart crust are golden brown.
Allow the tarts to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove them and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the tarts at room temperature or chilled as desired.
