Preparation

Step 1

Place almond flour and salt in food processor and pulse briefly. Add butter, coconut oil , and egg and pulse until mixture forms a ball. Press dough into 12 mini muffin cups . Bake at 350°F until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.

Place berries and coconut oil in a microwavable bowl. Heat 1 to 2 minutes until oil is melted and hot. (1 minute for fresh berries, 2 for thawed frozen berries) Transfer to a blender or food processor. Add cream and sweetener and process. Chill in blender jar until mixture firms up. Blend again if necessary. Once the oil is incorporated, this will stay mousse-like for days.

Fill the crusts with mousse and too with a strawberry half for garnish if you like.
