Ingredients

CRUST

½ cup coconut flour
½ cup butter unsalted
½ cup allulose or other low carb sweetener
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg

FILLING

1 ½ cup Desiccated coconut unsweetened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup allulose or other low carb sweetener
¼ cup butter, unsalted melted

STRAWBERRY LAYER

½ cup strawberries sliced
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons allulose or other low carb sweetener

Instructions

PASTRY

Place the pastry ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth and a dough appears.
Remove the dough and shape into a ball. Cover with parchment paper and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.

FILLING

In a bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy
Add the erythritol, melted butter and vanilla.
Add coconut and stir until combined.

STRAWBERRY LAYER

In a small saucepan add the strawberries, erythritol and water.
Bring to the boil and then simmer for 5 minutes until cool.
Remove from the heat and gently mash.
If the mixture is too runny, add ½ teaspoon xanthan gum to thicken
ALTERNATIVELY use 2 tablespoons strawberry chia jam

TO ASSEMBLE

Lightly grease either a muffin tin or small tart cases. (I used silicone cases)
Remove the pastry from the fridge and cut into 6 even pieces.
Shape the pastry piece into a ball and then press the pastry into the case, spreading it out evenly.
Spoon the strawberry mixture on the bottom of the pastry case.
Add the coconut mixture and fill up to the top of the pastry case.
Bake at 190C/375F degrees for 25-35 minutes until the top of the tart is golden and firm.

Notes

Bakes 6 tarts with a thin pastry layer. 5 tarts with a thicker one.
