Ingredients
Crust
- ¾ cup coconut oil
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- ¼ cup powdered sugar (Swerve for no sugar)
Lemon Filling
- ½ cup Truvia Baking Blend or Swerve for no sugar
- 4 large eggs
- ⅔ cups fresh lemon juice (about 4 large lemons)
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 4 tablespoons almond flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 8" x 8" baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
- For the crust melt the coconut oil in the microwave until it liquifies. Add powdered sugar, egg yolk and stir until blended. In a small separate bowl whisk together the almond and coconut flours with the salt. Add to liquid and mix forming a dough. Press onto the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes or until lightly brown. Cool on a baking rack.
- For the lemon filling in a medium bowl beat the eggs and Truvia with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Add the lemon juice and zest. Fold in the almond flour.
- Pour over crust and bake for about 20 minutes or until filling has set. Cool on a baking rack and refrigerate for about an hour before cutting.
- Garnish with powdered sugar and fruit of your choice.
