How To Make Keto Custard Tart
- Low-carb pie crust
- Preheat fan-forced oven to 175C/350F
- Mix together the almond meal, flaxseed meal, Swerve, and nutmeg into a mixing bowl. We use a Stand Mixer to do our mixing as it free’s us up around the kitchen. But you can mix by hand or with a hand mixer.
- Add the melted butter and egg and mix well (if you’reusing a stand mixer or hand mixer, select slow).
- Spoon the mixture into a 9.5-inch Pie Dish and press into an even layer across the base and up the sides.
- Bake in the oven for 12 minutes until the base is firm. If the base starts to rise from air bubbles, prick it with a fork and gently press down. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Custard tart filling
- Reduce oven to 160C/320F.
- Scrap the seeds from the vanilla bean and discard the pod.
- In a bowl whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla seeds, and Swerve.
- Add the whipping cream and mix well, before pouring through a fine sieve to remove any larger vanilla bean pieces.
- Pour mixture into the base and gently place in the oven.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the custard is just set and there is a slight jiggle when moved.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Cut into 12 even pieces and enjoy.

Can I use powdered Swerve instead of Natvia? Anything with stevia in it is oison to me (caused terrible migraines).

Hi John-Mark,
You can replace the Natvia with your preferred granulated sweetener – powdered sweetener is a lot sweeter than granulated and you will need to use less. I hope that helps!
