•Ingredients:
For the crust:
1/4 cup powdered erythritol
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the cherry filling:
2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
2 cups frozen cherries, thawed and drained
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon chia seeds
•Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, powdered erythritol, and salt for the crust. Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract until a dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
While the crust is baking, prepare the cherry filling. In a saucepan, combine the thawed cherries, powdered erythritol, lemon juice, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cherries soften and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the cherries are soft, mash them slightly with a fork or potato masher. Stir in the chia seeds and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly.
Pour the cherry filling over the baked crust, spreading it out evenly. Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set
