Low-Carb Passion Fruit Tartlets (keto, sugar-free, paleo)

Passionfruit and coconut are the perfect flavor combination for summer. With these tangy keto passion fruit tarts you can teleport yourself to the tropics in less than an hour!

These tartlets might be bite-sized but they are packed full of flavor and zing from this Low-Carb Passion Fruit Curd. Despite being small and low in calories, you won't need more than one or two to feel satisfied. Plus they look really cute and pretty, especially if you use edible flowers to decorate them.

The crust is nut-free and you will only need three ingredients: coconut chips, some low-carb sweetener (which can be skipped) and an egg white. These mini tarts are really easy and will work with other fillings too. Try them with:

Step-by-step

  1. Start by preparing the passion fruit curd by following this recipe. You will need the whole recipe to make 10 tartlets. Once done, place in the fridge to chill.

  2. While the curd is chilling, prepare the crust. Preheat the oven to 130 °C/ 265 °F (fan assisted), or 150 °C/ 300 °F (conventional). You will need toasted coconut chips although raw coconut chips will work too. (Toasted coconut chips are easier to process and will have more flavor.)

  3. Place the coconut chips, sweetener and egg white into a food processor and process until thick dough is formed. It doesn't have to be too smooth but it has to be sticky enough to form dough.

  4. Divide the dough between 10 medium silicon muffin forms (about 20 g/ 0.7 oz each) and place them on a baking tray. You can also use a regular muffin pan lined with muffin paper cups.

  5. Using your hands, create small tartlets by pressing the dough in and forming an edge that will hold the curd.

  6. Place in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The temperature is low to prevent coconut from burning but if needed, flip the tray half way for even baking.

  7. Remove from the oven and let the crust cool down completely before removing them from the silicon cups.

    Hi Martina
    I am thinking this would make a great passion fruit meringue using up some of the egg whites! How best to do this?

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      You're right! You can use a large tart pan and make a regular pie instead. Here's a similar recipe that will help in terms of baking time and the meringue topping. I hope this helps! Low-Carb Raspberry Meringue Pie
      Or here's an option to make these in little jars: Low-Carb Lemon Meringue Parfaits
