Ingredients

For the crust

  • 1/4 C almond flour
  • 1 tsp Swerve or equivalent granular sweetener
  • small pinch of salt
  • 2 tsp melted butter

For the filling

  • 2 Cups fresh or frozen saskatoon berries thawed if frozen
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 1 Tbsp Swerve or equivalent granular sweetener
  • Squeeze of fresh lemon juice 1 smallish wedge
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1 tsp gelatin powder optional

Instructions

For the crust

  1. Preheat oven to 375°
  2. Mix almond flour, granular sweetener and butter together until pea sized crumbs form. Press about 2 Tbsp mixture into the bottom of two 4oz ramekins.
  3. Bake just until lightly browned, about 15 minutes

For the filling

  1. Put butter, berries and sweetener in a heavy bottomed pot over medium heat until butter melts and berries begin to cook (time will depend on whether your berries are fresh or frozen but about 5-8 minutes is likely enough)
  2. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and sprinkle xanthan gum over berries.

  3. Add gelatin if using and cook until reduced a bit and thickened.

  4. Spoon berries over pre-baked crusts and pop back into the oven for about 10 minutes. (this step is likely not actually necessary)
  5. Serve with heavy whipping cream sweetened with a few drops of liquid stevia.
