Ginger nut crusted tarts topped with strawberry and blueberries make a bright and tasty treat in these keto berry tarts.
I found this recipe on Epicurious and changed it by replacing the wheat flour (bah, nasty stuff) with coconut flour for binding. I think you might be able to make this raw and not bake the crusts, but let them form in the fridge for a few hours. However, baking them results in a delicious tart. I love using nuts in replace of a pastry case and I think it gives the tart more taste and texture too.
You could use a muffin tray to make the keto berry tarts, but I preferred to use a cupcake tray, as it makes neater tarts. I used strawberry and blueberries but other fruits would be just as delicious. Spiced plums perhaps? I like the nut combination of walnuts and almond but pecans would be suitable too. Add with a dollop of cream and you have a tasty treat!
