Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • ¼ cup erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
  • 2 tablespoons cherry extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (or keto-friendly thickener)
  • Optional: whipped cream or sugar-free whipped topping for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix almond flour, erythritol, and salt. Add melted butter, egg, and almond extract. Stir until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
  3. Prepare the Cherry Filling: In a saucepan, combine cherries, cherry extract, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until the mixture is bubbly and thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Fill the Tart: Pour the cherry filling into the baked tart crust, spreading it evenly. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the tart to cool before slicing. Serve with whipped cream or sugar-free topping if desired.
