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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour and erythritol. Add the melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and salt, stirring until a dough forms.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Place the tart crust in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the pitted cherries, xanthan gum, lemon juice, and an additional 2 tablespoons of erythritol.

Step 6

Cook the cherries, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the cherries are tender, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 7

Pour the cherry filling into the cooled tart crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake the assembled tart for an additional 15 minutes until the cherry filling is set.

Step 9

Allow the tart to cool to room temperature before serving or refrigerate for a chilled serving. Enjoy your low-carb cherry tart!
