This is such a delicious, spring inspired keto dessert to make for a special occasion or just to treat yourself with something indulgent yet light. So here's my take on this classic rhubarb tart made without sugar and flour!
This will be a shows-topping dessert to make for Mother's Day or even Valentine's Day as forced rhubarb isn't just pretty and pink but also available between January and March. When forced rhubarb isn't in season anymore, you can always use field-grown rhubarb which will give a pretty red-green hue to this tart.
We've got our signature Sweet Keto Pie Crust which is sturdy and leakproof, making it the ideal crust for custard fillings. The baked pie crust is then filled with creamy vanilla custard, and topped with tangy ginger and vanilla flavored roasted rhubarb which balances the sweetness of the custard. For extra crunch and flavor you'll want to sprinkle the tart with toasted almond flakes. Simply delicious!

Ingredients (makes 8 servings)
Pie crust:
Custard:
Rhubarb:
- 350 g rhubarb, forced for pink or field-grown (12.3 oz)
- 3 1/2 tbsp granulated granulated Allulose or Erythritol (35 g/ 1.2 oz)
- 1/2 tbsp grated ginger
- 1/2 whole vanilla pod or 1/4 tsp vanilla bean powder
- 2 tbsp flaked toasted almonds, to sprinkle (12 g/ 0.4 oz)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweet Keto Pie Crust by following instructions in this recipe (including the baking). Make sure to create a good edge so the tart can hold the filling. When done, set aside to cool.
- Prepare the custard. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the water and set aside to bloom.
- In a bowl whisk the egg yolks and the sweetener until pale and frothy (Allulose is best but other options like Erythritol can be used instead). You can use an electric mixer or a hand whisk.
- Place the almond milk, cream and vanilla extract (or split vanilla pod with seeds scraped into the cream) into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over a medium-high heat. Remove the vanilla (if using whole pod).
- Use a ladle to gradually temper the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk and sweetener mixture. Keep whisking constantly.
- When you have added about half of the cream mixture, return everything into the pot with the remaining almond and cream mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes, mixing at all times. Add the bloomed gelatin and stir until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool down to room temperature.
Note: If the mixture curdles, don't panic. Just blitz with a stick blender until smooth again.
- Pour in the baked pie crust and place in the fridge to set, for about 3 hours.
- To prepare the rhubarb, preheat the oven to 180 °C/ 355 °F (fan assisted), or 200 °C/ 400 °F (conventional).
- Cut the rhubarb into about 4 cm (1.5 inch) pieces. Using a sharp knife, cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape the tiny seeds out. Place in a baking tray and add the grated ginger, vanilla seeds and vanilla pod. Evenly sprinkle with Allulose (or granulated low-carb sweetener of choice).
- Cover with a foil, place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, shake to combine and cover in the syrup. Remove the foil and return into the oven to bake for another 5 to 8 minutes. The rhubarb should feel tender, not mushy, and it should still keep its shape. When done, remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

- Carefully top with the rhubarb pieces. Serve sprinkled with flaked toasted almonds or refrigerate until needed.
- Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
