Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F and lightly grease a mini muffin pan. Mix together all the ingredients for the crust. Press about 1-2 tsp of the mixture into each mini muffin cup. Be sure to evenly spread the mixture on the bottom and up the sides to create the crust. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Allow the tarts to cool on a cooling rack.

Meanwhile, whip the heaving cream (or coconut cream) with 1 Tbsp of sweetener. Taste the cream and add more sweetener if desired. It should yield about 1-1/2 cups of whipped cream. Set aside.
