With a buttery, flaky almond flour shortcrust pastry and a low carb mincemeat filling, these Keto mince pies are the essence of a proper low carb Christmas! My whole family LOVES mince pies. Especially my daughter goes crazy for them.
The Secret Ingredient that makes my Low Carb Christmas Mince Pies VERY Low Carb. Mincemeat is obviously the key element of mince pies. But many low-carb recipes for mincemeat involve a lot of berries and nuts, which means… extra carbs. So to stay within my target maximum, I’ve ingeniously (hahaha – as if…) used a secret ingredient: zucchini.
Traditional Christmas fruit mince pies are a sweet baked pastry filled with sweet minced dried fruit, brown sugar, glucose syrup, Christmas spices, and often contain brandy, rum, or whiskey.
The combination of the sticky dried fruit and the Christmas spices in the mincemeat and the buttery, flaky shortcrust pastry is quite irresistible. However, the amount of sugar and carbs a supermarket mince pie contains is eye-watering, however little they are.
