Nice mini version of the Coconut Mango cake, with a crunchy tartelette base.
Makes: 4 little tarts
Prep time: 20 min
Cooking: 25 min at 180 degree celsius
For the gluten free Tart base you need:
70g ground almonds – mixed ground nuts work too.
30g coconut flour
50g quark or Yoghurt (if you don’t want to use dairy you could use the thick separate part of the coconut milk)
30g coconut oil ( you can use other oil if needed)
couple of drops vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1-3 knife-tips Stevia-sweet 90% powder dissolved in 1 table spoons hot water
Note: getting the sweetness to the desired level is a matter of trial and error, the best thing is to start with a smaller amount of whatever Stevia you have on hand, it can be ready-use, liquid or tabs (need to be dissolved too), adding more is easier than diluting – you could end up with a huge amount of treat -Don’t have any Stevia yet? – you can always use normal sweetener products until you are set up.

Maybe this is your first sugar free Christmas season, you are wondering how you could participate and how to feel the festivities without your usual sweets? Just make your own to fit in with your new dietary rules.
Last year I created a sugar free marzipan that is very versatile and much nicer than the sugar laden original.

It is much nicer to know what you are eating and the process of making something is always rewarding.

This is a great zesty plumb cake with crumbles on top, it is similar to the apple sauce cake. The crumbles are crunchy even thought they don't have any sugar in them at all, instead I use Stevia-sweet Baking Granules 1:1.

Did you notice that along all the foot path around the country the bramble bushes a loaded with blackberries? Most of us do not realise that there is still free food growing wild in off the beaten path. I love collecting blackberries carrying them home thinking how much money I saved by having fun searching for the best berries along my sunday walk.
At this time of year i like making cakes that have seasonal fruit in them, today it is berries. You will notice that the last and the next recipe are very similar because the base of the recipe works for all kind of fruits.
