I was so happy with these butter tart squares. No one would know that they are gluten free and sugar free.
The short bread crust works great with the filling. The only thing that I will do differently next time is line the pan with parchment paper. Make it easier to get the squares out.
I hope that you enjoy them as much as I do !!
