Keto Lemon Mini Cookie Cups [Low-Carb Stuffed Cookies]

These mini lemon cookie tarts prove that there is nothing better than a bite-sized sweet treat as an afternoon pick-me-up.

Sweet and crunchy, with a tang from the citrus, these mini treats combine elements of both cookies and tarts to make the perfect snack that will satisfy your sweet cravings without your low-carb lifestyle. As an added bonus, while these treats are technically tarts, they require almost none of the work a traditional tart needs, making it an easy recipe for all levels of bakers.

The base is a “cookie cup,” providing a crunchy vanilla and lemon foundation. Press the mixture into mini muffin cups and bake until golden and crispy, allowing for these to be bite-sized treats. Adding the lemon to the base of the tart brings out an intense citrus flavor that compliments the sweetness of the other ingredients.

Often, keto recipes will call for coconut sugar as a sweetener, however, we have opted to use allulose instead. Allulose is a sugar that is commonly found in figs and raisins. It provides a wonderful sweetness to this recipe and allows those who follow a ketogenic diet to still be able to eat these mini tarts, as it keeps the recipe low-carb.

Then beat the Coconut milk and vanilla together to create a delicious coconut cream. To complete the tarts just pipe the cream into the cookie bases .

You’ll find these tarts to be very addictive and so delicious. It’s likely that the whole batch will quickly disappear!
