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.
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.
Rather than rolling out the dough, cut pieces off, and press them into the mince pie tins. Fill each of the pastry cups with mince meat, and top each one with a pastry lid. Bake the pies in the oven at 180°c or Gas Mark 4 for 20-25 minutes. Why not get a bit creative, and cut the pastry into star shapes to make it extra Christmassy!
