Instructions
1. Make the Crust
-
Mix almond flour, melted butter, erythritol, and vanilla in a bowl.

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch glass dish.
-
Chill in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to firm up.

Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust.
3. Cook the Blueberry Topping
-
In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, water, erythritol, and lemon juice.
-
Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, until berries burst and the sauce thickens.

Stir in xanthan gum and let cool slightly.
4. Assemble and Chill

Notes
-
You can substitute raspberries or strawberries for blueberries.
