Filling

• 10ozfrozen pitted cherries300 g
• 1tbspcornstarchor arrowroot powder, dissolved in two tbsp water
• 1tbsplemon juice
• ⅓cuphoneyyou can also use rice malt syrup

Dough

• ½cupcoconut oilmelted (you can also use grass-fed butter)
• 2eggs
• 2tbsphoneyyou can also use rice malt syrup
• 1pinchsalt
• ¾cupcoconut flour

1. Preheat oven to 400F/200C

For the filling:

1. Place frozen cherries in a medium saucepan and cook on low heat for 3-4 minutes. Add lemon juice and honey, and stir until honey is dissolved. Increase heat to medium and bring to a boil.

2. In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch with water and stir in cherries. Stir constantly for about one minute or until thick. Set aside.

For the dough:

1. In a large bowl, place melted coconut oil, eggs, honey and a pinch of salt. Mix with a fork. Add coconut flour and mix until adough starts to form. It will seem too wet at the beginning, and that's ok. Let the dough sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the moisture of the batter.

2. Gather dough into a ball. Form 6 small balls, each about the size of a large golf ball. Set the remaining dough aside.

3. Transfer dough balls to 6 x 3.5-inch (8 cm) tartlet molds with a removable bottom (I used a set very similar to this one). Using your hands, spread dough in each pan, as evenly as possible, pressing into edges. Prick bottom with a fork.

4. Transfer on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes or until edges are golden. Remove from the oven and set aside. You can also use a 12-inch (30 cm) tart pan with a removable bottom and bake the dough for 9 minutes (see notes below).

Optional: heart decorations

1. Lightly flour some parchment paper with coconut flour. Using a rolling pin, roll the remaining dough until thin (but not too thin!) on the parchment paper. Using cookie cutters, cut shapes and discard remaining dough.

2. Transfer parchment paper on a baking sheet and bake for 3 to 5 minutes depending on the size of the decorations, or until edges are golden. Set aside.

Assemble:

1. Pour reserved cherry filling into each tartlet crust. Top with decorations if using. Let the filling cool completely and serve. Tartelettes can be stored up to 3 days in the fridge.
