Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch (24 cm) tart pan.
- Place the almond flour, erythritol and shredded coconut into a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe container and pour into the dry ingredients. Mix well until a loose dough is formed.
- Use a spoon to spoon dough evenly around the edges and in the centre of your tart pan, and then press into place firmly with your fingertips. Place crust into the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- While the crust is baking, place the softened butter and erythritol into the bowl of your mixer and beat until pale and fluffy. Add the almond flour, eggs and vanilla in batches, beating well in between additions.
- Remove tart crust from the oven and leave oven running.
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel long strips from your rhubarb stalks and set to one side.
- Spoon the filling into the tart shell and then spiral the rhubarb strips and push them firmly into the filling. Feel free to do some loose spirals and some tight ones, for variation.
- Bake for a further 35 minutes.
Tips!
Use a 1/4 cup measure to finish the sides of the crust. Press it firmly against the seam of the crust to get a lovely sharp return.
Store tart, well wrapped, in the refrigerator for up to five days. Please note that the crust will soften.

could you try this w/ something like truvia and let us know?
don't dare even try :(
Yes, adjusting sweetener to taste is always a good idea.
If you are not a fan of rhubarb, I would recommend finding a different recipe. The rhubarb is a pretty key ingredient in this dish.
Erythritol effects my health like sugar, makes me ill fast. This seems to be a theme amongst the comment section for this recipe. ‘Diet doctor’ definitely advocates not using artificial sweeteners where possible in many of its articles. My feeling about pure refined stevia is that although it is possible that the refining process has detrimental effects on the product, at least it is consumed in extremely low quantities to negate potential negative health effects which haven’t yet been discovered.

For those who don't like rhubarb, try a few blackberries. Sliced stawberries or raspberries might work but are likely to exude more juice.
Our sweetener guide provides information about most available sweeteners for those who would like to compare. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto/sweeteners
Raspberries will have a bit more carbohydrates so the nutrition information would need to be recalculated.
Yes, you will peel strips of the rhubarb to using as the topping.
You would need to adjust the amount of flour down considerably as coconut flour is very thirsty and will absorb more liquid.
