A classic Portuguese custard tart with buttery pastry and a hint of cinnamon and lemon in the filling. Who could resist these delicious tiny treats? Using a pastry brush, grease eight individual pastry tins generously with the melted butter, then chill in the fridge.
Thus, here come the keto-friendly custard tarts. The original custard tarts are crunchy on the outside (well, the side effect of them being pastry), and soft and creamy on the inside. Obviously, I couldn't come close to the crunchiness with a low-carb approach unless I tried to overbake (in other words burn) the dough.
While the crust bakes, prepare the frangipane filling. Place the butter and sweetener in the bowl of your stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, almond flour, sesame flour, vanilla and lemon zest and mix on low to combine well. Spoon into the tart crust and smooth the top.
