Ingredients

• 240 grams Almond flour
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 pinch Salt
• 300 ml Heavy cream
• 5 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 8 tablespoons Sugar substitute (such as erythritol or stevia)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the almond flour. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Add the egg and mix until a dough forms. Press the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Divide the chilled dough into 8 equal parts. Press each portion into the bottom and sides of tart tins to form a crust.

Step 6

Prick the crusts lightly with a fork and bake them in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.

Step 7

In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until small bubbles start to form around the edges.

Step 8

In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and sugar substitute until smooth.

Step 9

Slowly pour the heated cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.

Step 10

Strain the egg mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pouring jug to ensure a smooth filling.

Step 11

Pour the filling into the pre-baked tart crusts, filling them just below the edge.

Step 12

Bake the filled tarts in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.

Step 13

Allow the tarts to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
