Ginger nut crusted keto fruit tarts topped with strawberry and blueberries make a bright and tasty treat that are low carb, dairy free, gluten-free and vegan. Experiment with different variations and flavor combinations to create the perfect tart crust.
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.

Which berries are low carb?
These berries are not only low in carbs but also packed with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, making them healthy choices for various dietary plans. Always remember to consider portion sizes to stay within your carb limits.
- Blackberries: Blackberries are relatively low in carbs compared to other fruits, with about 7 grams of net carbs per 100 grams (3.5 ounces).
- Raspberries: Raspberries are also low in carbs, containing about 5 grams of net carbs per 100 grams.
- Strawberries: Strawberries are another excellent choice, with approximately 6 grams of net carbs per 100 grams.
- Blueberries: Blueberries are slightly higher in carbs compared to other berries, but they can still fit into a low-carb diet in moderation, with around 12 grams of net carbs per 100 grams.
- Cranberries: Fresh cranberries are quite tart but very low in carbs, containing about 4 grams of net carbs per 100 grams. However, they are often consumed in small quantities or in processed forms like cranberry juice, which may contain added sugars.
Ingredients
We use a mixture of walnuts and pecans but other low carb nuts can be used.
- Walnuts & Pecans - toast them before use for extra flavor.
- Ginger - ground ginger adds a touch of flavor to the ground nuts.
- Coconut flour - help binds the mixture. This could be substituted with almond flour or ground flaxseed.
- Sweetener - we use allulose but any other low carb sweetener can be used.
How to Make Keto Fruit Tarts
The sugar free tart cases could be made raw and just chilled but we prefer a slightly firmer texture so bake them before filling.
Grind the nuts in a food processor.
Add the other ingredients and mix.
Press the nut mixture into silicone tart cases and bake.
Chill and fill with sliced strawberries and blueberries.
Recipe Tips
You could use a muffin tray to make smaller 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.
