Sugar Free Low Glycemic Carb All Natural Hazelnut Berry Tart
Serves: 6
Carbs Per Serving: 6.3 g
Prep Time:<45>

Skill Level: moderate

Ingredients Pastry Crust:
1/2 cup - soy or whole grain flour
1/8 tsp - salt
2 oz - ground roast hazelnuts or almonds
2 Tbsp - Fructevia or Steviva Brand Stevia Blend
2 oz - fat free margarine
1 egg yolk
2 tsp - water

Ingredients Filling:
4 egg yolks
1/4 cup Fructevia or Steviva Brand Stevia Blend
1 tsp - vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups - cream or half and half
3 tsp - gelatine
2 Tbsp - water

Ingredients Topping:
2 lb - no sugar added canned or fresh berries of choice.
2 tsp - gelatine
2 tsp - rum

Directions Pastry:
1. Sift soy flour and add all dry ingredients together, with the Fructevia or Steviva Brand Stevia Blend in the center, on a pastry board.
2. Add the butter (softened), egg yolk, and water. Work the liquids into the Fructevia or Steviva Brand Stevia Blend, until it is creamy.
3. Now work in the flour mixture, as you would for any sweet pastry.
4. Press the dough into a greased cupcake or muffin tin. Prick the base of the pastry all over.
5. Refrigerate for 30 mins, then cook in a moderate oven 375F or for 15 to 20 mins (until golden brown)

Directions Filling:
1. Put egg yolks, Fructevia or Steviva Brand Stevia Blend and vanilla into a bowl and beat until thick and creamy.
2. Heat cream carefully until almost boiling.
3. Combine the two mixtures, beating until smooth, then add the result to the top of a double boiler and simmer until it thickens (STIR CONSTANTLY).
4. Dissolve the gelatine in the water, and add to the cream mixture, stirring well until it is well mixed.
5. Allow this mixture to cool completely before adding to the pastry case. Refrigerate until it sets.

Directions Topping:
1. Soak the berries in Fructevia or Steviva Brand Stevia Blend for 20 minutes. Drain and and reserve 1 cup of the syrup.
2. Arrange the berries artistically over the top of the tart.
3. Put the reserved syrup, gelatine and rum into a saucepan and heat (stirring) until gelatine dissolves.
4. Cool the liquid and pour over the berries. Refrigerate until set.

Don't be put off by the complexity of the recipe -- it is well worth the effort.
