Equipment
- Frying Pan
- Whisk
- Food Processor
- Oven
- Chef's Knife
- Mixing Bowl
- Wooden Spoon
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Tapioca flour
- 4 tablespoons Butter grass-fed or coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup Maple syrup or raw honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 1/2 cup Beet sugar or maple sugar
- Zest from 4 lemons Lemon zest
- 3/4 cup Fresh-squeezed lemon juice from about 6 lemons
- 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter softened and cut into cubes
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees °F and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Make the crust: Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix well. Press evenly into the baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until crust is lightly brown.
- Meanwhile, make lemon curd: Place whole eggs and yolks, sugar, lemon zest and juice and sea salt in a medium pot.
- Over low heat, whisk the lemon curd until it becomes thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and take off heat. This process should take around 8-10 minutes.
- Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the lemon curd into a medium mixing bowl. Add in the butter and stir well until melted.
- Pour lemon curd over the crust. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. Set aside, let cool completely, cover, and store in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to set.
- Top with powdered sugar, slice, and serve!
