Sugar-free tartlet Calories

To make a sugar-free tartlet, bake pastry dough in small tartlet tins, then let the shells cool before filling them. Add a no-added-sugar custard, chocolate filling, or fruit shortly before serving to help keep the pastry crisp.

A sugar-free tartlet may be sweetened with stevia, erythritol, or another sugar substitute, while some recipes use no added sweetener at all. The choice can affect both the filling’s taste and the pastry’s texture.
