  • Saucepan
  • Muffin tin
  • Wire rack

Ingredients

Tartlet Shells

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour 150g
  • ¼ cup coconut flour 30g
  • cup unsalted butter, melted 76g
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon erythritol 12g
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 2.5ml
  • ¼ teaspoon salt 1.25g

Lemon Curd Filling

  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice 120ml
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest 4g
  • ½ cup erythritol 100g
  • 3 large eggs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces 85g
  • ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum 1g

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, and salt.
  • Stir in melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until a dough forms.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and press each portion into the wells of a greased muffin tin, forming tartlet shells.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Allow the shells to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a saucepan, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, erythritol, and eggs.
  • Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and whisk in the butter pieces until fully incorporated.
  • Sprinkle xanthan gum over the curd and whisk vigorously to prevent clumps.
  • Allow the curd to cool slightly, then spoon into the cooled tartlet shells.
  • Refrigerate the tartlets for at least 1 hour to set the curd before serving.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with coconut oil.
The tartlets can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
