FOR EGG CUSTARD PASTRY CREAM
Coconut Cream = 120 ml / 1/2 cup
Pea / Almond / Coconut Milk (the diluted type) = 120 ml / 1/2 cup
Egg Yolks = 8 large (Reserve the whites for making keto bread)
Erythritol = 80 g / 1/3 cup
Vanilla Extract = 2 tsp
Coconut Flour = 14 g / 2 tbsp (Note: As thickener)
Xanthan Gum = 1/2 tsp (Note: As thickener but if you wish to omit it, you can add more coconut flour or arrowroot powder)
(Note: If you would like to have a thicker filling particularly for piping, you may need to double the recipe)
DIRECTIONS
1. Cook the coconut cream and milk in a small pan until boiling. Remove from heat.
2. In a bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and whisk until well combined.
3. Gradually add the hot milk and quickly mix to combine to avoid scrambling the eggs.
4. Pour the mixture back into the pan and cook over low heat until the sweetener is dissolved and custard is thickened.
5. Transfer into a bowl and cover with cling wrap touching the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
6. Chill for at least 1 hour.
FOR CREAM CHEESE PASTRY CREAM
Cream Cheese (room temperature) = 112 g / 1/2 cup
Whipping Cream = 120 g / 1/2 cup
Lakanto powdered sweetener = 50 g / 1/2 cup
Fresh lemon juice = 1 tbsp (Optional)
Zest from 1 lemon (Optional)
DIRECTIONS
1. Beat the whipping cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks or creamy is fine too. Set aside
2. In another bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and beat until well combined.
3. Fold in the whipped cream to combine but do not overmix.
4. Cover with cling wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
INGREDIENTS
FOR CRUST
Almond Flour = 240 g / 2 cups
Cold Butter (Cubed) = 80 g / 1/3 cup
Egg = 1 large
Erythritol = 50 g / 1/4 cup (OR any keto friendly sweetener)
Salt = 1 tsp
DIRECTIONS
1. Add all dry ingredients into a bowl except for butter and egg. Mix until well combined.
2. Add the cold butter and use your fingers to mash them into small pieces. Then switch to flatten the pieces of dough between your hands. This helps to create a flaky texture. Once the dough is crumbly, it's done.
3. Add the egg and mix until a dough is formed.
4. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap with cling foil, flatten and freeze for 15 mins.
5. Divide the dough equally around 40 g each depending on your preferred thickness.
6. This recipe can make about 12 to 14 x 3" tart molds. But if you like the crusts to be thicker, you may need to increase the recipe. In the video, I have shown you the different types of molds. Of course, the bigger the molds, the less tarts you can make.
7. Grease the molds with butter.
8. Shape the dough with your hands.
9.. Prick some holes with a fork.
10. Freeze the dough for 15 mins.
11. Before baking, brush the dough with some egg whites to prevent the bottom from becoming soggy but this is optional.
12. Bake at 320F or 160C for 12 to 15 mins or until golden brown. If you find the crust is too soft after baking, you can bake again without the molds just for a short while.
13. Cool completely then remove the molds.
14. Pipe or spoon the pastry cream into the crust then decorate with mixed berries.
15. Dust with powdered sweetener (optional).
16. Chill before serving.
17. The crust becomes crispier after chilling.
18. These fruit tarts can be refrigerated for a few days. If you wish to keep them longer, then do not top with fruits until just before serving.

I started crying when I saw this!! 😭😭 These tarts are my favorite thing in this whole world, and I thought I had to stop eating them forever being on keto. OMG bless all you girls that can bake out there, you have literally changed my life more than keto now. I'm so blessed to have found you... Thank you thank you!!!!

That's awesome! Thanks so much for your feedback ❤

[@Teeybabyboo]

@@lowcarbrecipeideas omg just had it and the lemon one was the absolute best. I added too much coconut flour to the custard so it was too thick but still yummy but that lemon one was the absolute best. It was devoured and none left :) thank you for sharing this awesome recipe ❤️

[@cherylmcduff5388]

They look amazing

[@Freespirit831]

I got to make this! Will this recipe of both crust and cream cheeses filling be enough for 9” baking pan?

[@askauntieamy]

Thank you they look wonderful, maybe you can work on a gluten free dumpling wrapper recipe. I so miss my water boiled dumplings.

[@fafaaabdul9001]

Great idea! Been wanting to have those too!

[@leonieharry2941]

First of all I love your recipes and videos! Thank you! Parts of your video are without music, and frankly speaking: I would find it great if the whole video would be without music, or something very smooth and a silent backgroundmusic. It would be good for you too, because humans can hear much longer to things if they are neither too loud nor too fast.Because it is not such an overstimulation and distraction. And so the people will look more videos at once.

Can I replace the coconut cream for heavy cream? It looks so yummy!!! Thanks so much!!!

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Yes you can

[@KarenLeon457]

Looks so delicious! Could I use this crust to make like a blueberry pie?

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Yes you can

[@KarenLeon457]

@@lowcarbrecipeideas thanks you so much. Would you say I could use this crust for any type of pie. Sweet or savory?

[@amalibilah3555]

💕😋💕😋💕

[@yvonnezheng821]

Hi, this looks very nice. Could I use sour cream to replace coconut cream, and psylium husk replace the xanthan gum?thank you.

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Yes you can use sour cream. But I am not sure about how it wd turn out with psyllium husk. You can actually add more coconut flour or use arrowroot powder as the thickener

[@yvonnezheng821]

@@lowcarbrecipeideas thank you, i thought the reason that you rise xanthan gum is for gluten the batter, but just for thickness, yes, coconut flour is a good choice, thanks again

[@leannekenyoung]

Can I make the crust in a food processor or my kitchenaid instead? I think it would be a lot less work and much much faster to make and the buttter would get well distributed throughout easier i think. Just curious if you have used a food processor to make the dough? I know my mom has begun to use her kitchenaid for making her pie dough and she just loves how fast and easy it is. So thought someone else may benefit with that info. I tried making one other butter style crust and it took me forever to get it to the correct stage I am disabled and it exhausted me…lol! I got it done but I couldn’t believe how long it took me and realized that you must speed u the video quite a bit. Let me know your thoughts please I value your opinion and LOVE your recipes!!!! 🥰🙏🏻🇨🇦

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Yes you can use the food processor to make the crust but it's best to pulse it

[@BrainBordom]

As I have a nut allergy, the almond flour presents a bit of a problem for me....hehe. How easy would it be to substitute coconut flour or other low carb flour? Really would like to try making these.

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

You can make with this coconut flaxseed crust. It wd not be as crispy as the almond flour version but it's a good alternative; kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKCbY3aXbtSSia8

[@BrainBordom]

@@lowcarbrecipeideas Excellent! Thanks for the reply and help. I'm sure I can deal with not being crispy for now...hehe. I'll just be glad to be able to try it. 😁😎

[@Eduforall_]

when you freeze the tart base batter where exactly do you put it and for how long? thank you

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

I freeze the dough for 15 mins to make it firmer so that it's easier to work with. It can be anywhere in the freezer. After shaping the tarts, it also needs to go into the freezer for 15 minutes. This is basically to harden the dough so that the butter will not leak easily during baking. You can also put in the fridge but the timing needs to be longer.

[@oznurr]

With which ingredient I can substitute the coconut cream? Thank you in advance.

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

You can replace with whipping or heavy cream, yogurt or sour cream

[@betsota1]

Se podrá hacer la con menos huevo? Por ejemplo con 4?

[@florenciananfara4380]

Claro! Pero tenes que disminuir la cantidad de líquido si no, no lograrás que espese lo suficiente como para manguear la crema el la tarteleta.

[@fafaaabdul9001]

I’m having problem not be able to whip my whipping cream to stiff peak. It bcome more watery? Idk why 😣

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Try not to whip too long as it will become watery. You can beat until just creamy

[@yeshekoh6314]

hi hi can i use a muffin pan for this?

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Yes

[@sarasaid1741]

What is the replacement of coconut cream plz?

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

You can use whipping cream, plain yogurt or sour cream

[@jackelinediba6203]

Delicioussss❤!!!! But please hope u removed the little paper piece in the almond flourrrr😵🤭

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Thanks ! Yes don't worry it was removed 😉

[@johnmirbach2338]

😁✌🖖👌👍😎

[@leecookie4805]

So,240g flour can make 28 tarts?

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

As mentioned in the full written recipe at the description box, 240g almond flour can make 12 to 14 x 3" tarts. But if you like the crusts thicker then you will get lesser tarts.

[@leecookie4805]

ic,thank you👍

[@samharry9700]

How about a vegetarian version no eggs

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Aa mentioned in the written recipe, you can also the eggless crust from my Pecan pie recipe (link provided). Then use the cream cheese filling as there are no eggs.
