Ingredients

Tart Shells

  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons (125 g) almond flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 tbsp sugar-free powdered sweetener
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

Filling

  • 3 ounces (85.05 g) brie, cut into 1/2" cubes
  • 1/2 cup (140 g) sugar-free cranberry sauce
  • 3 tbsp chopped toasted walnuts (optional)
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Tart Shells: Preheat the oven to 325ºF and grease a 24-cup metal mini muffin pan. Whisk almond flour, powdered sweetener, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Add the egg and melted butter, stirring until the dough forms a ball.
  2. Roll Out Dough: Lightly dust your work surface with almond flour and transfer the dough. Cover with waxed or parchment paper and roll out evenly to 1/4" thickness.
  3. Cut Tart Crusts: Use a 2-inch round cookie cutter to cut out tart crusts. Lift each cut-out carefully with an offset spatula and gently press into muffin cups without pushing hard to avoid sticking. Re-roll scraps as needed to make 24 shells.
  4. Bake Tart Shells: Bake the shells for 10 minutes at 325ºF. Remove and allow them to cool completely so they firm up.
  5. Assemble Filling: Press a cube of chilled brie into each cooled tart shell. Top each with a teaspoon of sugar-free cranberry sauce.
  6. Bake Filled Tarts: Return the filled tart shells to the oven and bake for an additional 12 to 15 minutes, until the brie is bubbly and the crust edges turn golden brown.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes. Gently loosen the bites with a small sharp knife and lift them out. Sprinkle chopped toasted walnuts and fresh rosemary leaves on top if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Use leftover or homemade sugar-free cranberry sauce, ensuring it is fully cooled before assembling.
  • Keep brie chilled before cutting; it is less sticky and easier to handle when cold.
  • You can re-roll the almond flour dough multiple times without it becoming tough, unlike wheat-based pastry dough.
  • Avoid pressing the dough firmly into muffin cups to prevent sticking during baking.
