This Keto Cranberry Brie Tart recipe was inspired by one of my favorite holiday appetizers that my mom, Laurie, used to make. I loved it so much, I used it for countless catering jobs back in the day. You may have seen what I’m talking about…little phyllo cups stuffed with brie and topped with fruity jam. Everyone always raved about them and they were so simple…my kind of appetizer!
I wanted to recreate these yummy tartlets for my keto holiday. Now, if you’re like me, I want holiday appetizers that are fairly simply and not overly fussy, so I took the idea of the tartlets and made a larger tart that can be cut and served so save on prep time!
The spiced up Crust for this Keto Cranberry Brie Tart is so easy!
This coconut flour crust comes together quickly in a food processor. Coconut flour, a little sweetener, salt, butter and some cream cheese spiced up with some Fiesta Brand paprika and cayenne for a little kick! The crust then gets pressed into a tart pan or your pan of choice!
Can the tart be used for mini tartlets?
Absolutely! Simply press this easy crust dough evenly into a lightly greased mini muffin pan and make for about 6-8 minutes or until golden. Cool the shells, remove form the pan and fill with the whipped brie and cranberry before serving!
How to make whipped brie for the Keto Cranberry Brie Tart
First of all, making whipped brie could not be easier and I can’t imagine a more delicious way to eat this cheese! Brie is covered in an edible rind, but it has to be cut off to whip. With a sharp knife, cut the rind off the wheel of brie, being careful not to get too much of the yummy brie. Let the brie sit out for 10-15 minutes, then it goes into a stand mixer and gets whipped for 5-7 minutes or until buttery smooth and spreadable. You will have to scrap down the sides of your bowl a few times in the process. Just scrape them down and continue to whip.
Making the Jalapeno Cranberry Sauce
This sauce for this Keto Cranberry Brie Tart is so simple to make and incredibly delicious! Fresh cranberries, finely chopped jalapeno, water, sweetener, orange peel, paprika and little apple cider vinegar go into a sauce pan and simmered until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens, then gets cooled until assemble time! This cranberry sauce can be made in advance and kept in the fridge until ready to serve.
Need a quick appetizer, try this Jalapeno Cranberry Sauce over cream cheese and serve with keto crackers!
Next every thing get layered in the spiced up crust and topped with toasted chopped pecans! It’s that easy!
I love using a rectangular tart pan to make a festive and gorgeous presentation. This one has a removable bottom which I definitely recommend! To serve this Keto Cranberry Brie Tart, I slice this rectangular tart into about 10 slices then cut those pieces in half to get about 20 servings, especially if you have other appetizers. If you don’t have a tart pan you could use a 9×9 baking pan lined with parchment to make bars. For easy removal and no fuss slicing, make sure that your parchment hangs over the side of the pan so you can use it as a handle to lift everything out. Also, as I mentioned you can press your dough into mini muffin cups to make tartlets!
This Keto Cranberry Brie Tart is a festive holiday appetizer that will put everyone in the holiday spirit! Perfect for your next holiday gathering, this gorgeous tart is a crowd pleaser and could not be easier to prepare!
