This delicious grain-free tart recipe is a winner! The crumbly cinnamon almond shell, topped with fresh berries and whipped coconut cream, is sugar and gluten free too! 

Paleo Friendly Berry TartIn The Raw DisclosureThese luscious berry and coconut whipped cream tarts are packed full of healthy and good-for-you ingredients, so there’s no need to feel guilty about indulging in one (or three!). They’re also a snap to make following the simple recipe below.

Making a Grain Free Pie Crust Tart Shell Recipe

In a food processor, pulse together the almond flour, unsweetened coconut flakes, salt, Stevia In The Raw® and butter. You could substitute coconut oil for the butter to make this dairy-free, but I really love the rich flavor that the butter gives to the tart shell. Stevia In The Raw is the perfect sweetener to use in this recipe because the handy baker’s bag measures cup-for-cup the same way you’d use sugar, so it’s easy to determine just how much you’ll need.

The mixture should look like large moist crumbs, and it should stick together when you pack it down.

Scoop 1/6 of the mixture into each tart pan, and press the dough firmly into place using your fingers or a tart tamper. Bake until the shell is a light golden brown, and allow to cool completely.

Blueberries with a Stevia Syrup Glaze

While the tarts are cooling, make a simple syrup by combining 1/4 cup of Stevia In The Raw and 1/2 cup of water – boil lightly on the stovetop, and then simmer for 5 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, and then pour the syrup over the prepared berries. Toss the mixture to lightly coat the fruit with the syrup.

Once the berries and shells are prepared and cooled, it’s time to whip up a double batch of coconut cream. I always use this Coconut Whipped Cream recipe from Gimme Some Oven with Stevia In The Raw as my sweetener, and I also add the seeds from two vanilla beans to the recipe.

…and top with the sweetened berries. YUM! I baked this batch of tarts late one afternoon, and my boys and I couldn’t wait until dessert to dive into them. We ate berries and vanilla coconut cream tarts for dinner, and they were AMAZING!
