If you don’t have powdered erythritol or xylitol and only have granular, go ahead and give it a blast with a high-speed blender, or food processor. Erythritol and xylitol also tend to get grainy when cold, but I found the powdered versions to do it much less. Powered is preferred over granular, as it blends better and has a nicer texture.

On stressful days I would make the pilgrimage to the bakery to grab one of these bad boys and a hot cup of coffee. When I lived in Vancouver there was a tiny little amazing bakery near my office. They are by far my ultimate comfort food. A pate sucree crust that’s sweet, flakey and buttery, with soft sweet custard cream and glazed fresh fruit adorning the top. I’ve always loved fresh fruit custard tarts.
