  • 1/4 cup Coconut Flour Essential for adding structure to the crust while keeping it low in carbs.
  • 1/3 cup Granulated Erythritol A fantastic sugar substitute.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Baking dish
  • electric mixer

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and granulated erythritol. Melt the unsalted butter and pour it into the dry ingredients, mixing until crumbly. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a greased baking dish and bake for about 12-15 minutes.
  3. While the crust bakes, wash and chop the strawberries and rhubarb. Toss the fruit together in a separate bowl.
  4. Once the crust is baked, pour the strawberry-rhubarb mixture evenly over the crust.
  5. Beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until they form stiff peaks and spread the meringue over the fruit filling.
  6. Return the baking dish to the oven for about 10-12 minutes, until the meringue is golden brown. Allow to cool completely in the baking dish.
  7. Cut into bars and serve chilled or at room temperature.
