A delicious treat that is low in sugar, won’t make you gassy or bloated, and may actually be somewhat healthy for you! Amazing!
Crust:
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 Tbs melted coconut oil
- 1 large egg
Curd:
- 3 eggs
- ¼ cup raw honey
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- Zest of 2-3 lemons (about a ½ cup)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom of a 9 inch tart pan with parchment paper. Grease the sides with oil
- In a small food processor, pulse the almond flour and salt until combined (I like to add a dash of cinnamon as well). Add the oil and egg and pulse a bit more until dough forms. It should be sticky
- Transfer the dough to the center of the tart pan. Using a sheet of plastic wrap or greased palms, press the dough out into an even crust, coming ¼ to ½ inch up the sides. Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes or until firm and beginning to brown. Remove and let cool.
- For the curd, in a medium saucepan, whisk the eggs and honey until smooth. Set the pan over medium-low heat. Add coconut oil and cook, whisking occasionally, until oil is melted (About 2 min). Add the lemon juice and zest and continue to cook, whisking gently until the mixture begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat immediately, continuing to whisk to avoid lumps.
- Transfer the mixture to the crust and smooth evenly. Allow to cool completely and refrigerate.
Homemade whipped cream is amazing on this!
