Posted in Recipes by

Hello everybody!

This recipe just like all my recipes are easy to make, fast and healthy, and of course gluten-, egg-, dairy- free!

Ingredients:

Crust

2 cups almond flour

2 Tbsp mink fruit syrup

1 Tbsp coconut oil

1 Tbsp water

pinch of salt

1 tsp vanilla

Filling

1 cup raspberries+ 1 cup rhubarb or other berries

1 Tbsp lemon juice

2 Tbsp monk fruit syrup

2 Tbsp chia seeds

Topping

1/4 cup almond flour

1 tbsp coconut flour

1 cup shredded almonds or cashews or both

1/2 cup coconut shreds

1 Tbsp coconut oil

2 tbsp monk fruit syrup (or honey or any liquid sweetener)

Directions:

1 Preheat oven to 350 and line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper

2 In a bowl, combine all crust ingredients and stir until completely combined.

3 Flatten into pan and pierce top multiple times with fork to allow air to escape.

4 Bake for 13 minutes and let cool at least 1 hour.

5 While crust is cooling, warm berries, rhubarb, lemon juice, and monk fruit syrup in a saucepan on medium heat.

6 Continually mash with fork until all combined and completely heated through.

7 Turn off heat and add in chia seeds. Stir and let cool completely, putting in fridge after a few minutes.

  5. Slowly add it to the egg mixture

  4. Gradually fold the egg withes into the yolk mixture
  5. Mix the coffee and rom aroma
