Directions

Start by preparing the crust for the tarte Tatin.

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave 60 sec or until melted.

Whisk together the cheese with a fork, then mix in the almond flour, monkfruit, egg, baking powder, vanilla extract and xanthan gum.

Work the dough into a ball, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Once the fathead dough has been refrigerated, preheat oven to 350F.

In a medium oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.

Add the diced starfruit, monkfruit, vanilla extract, cinnamon and allspice, then allow to simmer down and thicken, stirring occasionally.

While the starfruit simmers down a few minutes, get the ball of fathead dough out of the fridge and place it between two sheets of parchment paper.

Using a rolling pin, the ball out into a large even circle, slightly wider than the skillet.

Remove the top parchment sheet, then flip the rolled out dough over the skillet and peel off the second parchment.

Adjust the crust to cover the starfruit mixture and carefully tuck the dough down sides, inside the skillet.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake 15 min.

Broil 3-5 min, keeping an eye not to burn the crust.

Remove the skillet from the oven. Loosen the sides gently with a spatula or knife, then carefully flip the tarte Tatin onto a large plate or a serving dish, so that the crust is at the bottom.

Serve as-is or topped with a spoonful of keto vanilla ice cream or some whipped cream.
