• 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

For the Almond Flour Crust:

For the Coconut Filling:

5. In a mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, canned coconut milk, powdered erythritol, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Assembling and Baking:

6. Pour the coconut filling evenly into the baked almond flour crusts in the tart pan.
7. Return the tart pan to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the coconut filling is set and the top is lightly browned.

Cooling and Serving:

8. Remove the tartlets from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
9. Carefully remove the tartlets from the pan and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
