1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a round tart pan with a removable bottom and set aside.
2. In a food processor, combine almond flour, walnuts, butter, erythritol, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

5. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold half of the beaten egg whites into the remaining dough.
6. Spread the blueberries evenly over the cooled crust, then top with the remaining egg white mixture and spread it evenly on top.
7. Bake for 20 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Allow to cool completely before removing from the pan.
