Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup erythritol
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare four individual ramekins or oven-safe small dishes.
- Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, then slice them into uniform thin pieces, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- In a mixing bowl, combine sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of erythritol and vanilla extract, gently tossing to coat the fruit evenly.
- Divide the strawberry mixture equally among the prepared ramekins, spreading them in a single layer.
- In a separate bowl, create the crisp topping by mixing almond flour, remaining erythritol, melted butter, and a pinch of salt until it forms a crumbly texture.
- Sprinkle the almond flour mixture evenly over the strawberries in each ramekin, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet to catch any potential overflow and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
- Remove from oven when the topping is golden brown and the strawberries are bubbling around the edges.
- Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to let the filling set and prevent burning.
- Optional: Garnish with a small dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon if desired.
Tips
- Choose ripe, fresh strawberries for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness.
- Use a sharp knife to slice strawberries uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Don't skip the pinch of salt in the topping – it enhances the overall flavor profile.
- For extra crunch, you can add a few chopped pecans or sliced almonds to the topping.
- Watch the crisps carefully in the last 5 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
- Let the dessert cool slightly to allow the filling to set and develop a perfect texture.
- For a fancy presentation, serve in individual ramekins directly from the oven.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat briefly in the oven to restore crispiness.
