Ingredients
  

For the Tart Crust:

1 cup almond flour

2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Berry Filling:

1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Ice Cream:

2 cups vanilla ice cream (choose store-bought or homemade)

For Garnish:

Additional mixed berries

Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tart Crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and salt. Mix well until a cohesive dough forms.

        - Evenly press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a muffin tin, shaping it into mini tart shells.

          - Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn a golden brown. Once done, allow the crusts to cool completely in the tin.

            Make the Berry Filling:

              - In a small bowl, add the mixed berries, sweetener (honey or maple syrup), lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Using a fork, gently mash the berries to release some juices while keeping them somewhat chunky. Set the berry mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld.

                Assemble the Tarts:

                  - Once the tart crusts have cooled, carefully remove them from the muffin tin. Spoon a generous layer of the berry filling into each tart shell, filling them about halfway.

                    Add the Ice Cream:

                      - Using a small scoop or spoon, carefully top each tart filled with berry mixture with vanilla ice cream, filling them to the brim. For a decorative touch, use a small spatula to create swirls that intertwine the ice cream with the berry filling.

                        Freeze the Tarts:

                          - Return the assembled tarts to the freezer and allow them to firm up for 1-2 hours.

                            Serve the Tarts:

                              - Once set, remove the tarts from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly before serving. Garnish with extra mixed berries and fresh mint leaves, if desired.

                                Enjoy your delicious Mini Berry Ice Cream Tarts—perfect for warm days or any festive occasion!
