I have been making this custard and berry tart for literally decades, and it was one of the first treats I tried to “ketofy” when I started on my keto journey. My kids have dubbed it keto fruit pizza, but it’s really a delicious custard tart that is popping with fresh berries. Berries are one of the lowest glycemic, and therefore keto friendly, fruit options and they pack in a ton of fiber and nutrients. While I love them on my low carb cheesecake, this keto pie recipe is a close second! So on this Independence Day, why not whip up this keto custard tart with blueberries, blackberries and raspberries for a festive and keto dessert?
