Lemon Tart (Grain Free, Gluten Free)

This lemon tart, made with a buttery crust and candy and citrusy lemon filling, is a superb option to finish a meal!

The shortbread crust has 1/2 cup of coconut so as to add some extra taste and crisp texture. It may be tough to seek out unprocessed sweetened coconut, so step one on this recipe is to mix coconut and honey and toast it.

You are able to do this step a couple of days a head of time and preserve the sweetened coconut in a glass jar.

The crust is a mixture of almond flour, coconut flour, sweetened coconut, gelatin, sea salt and butter.

I all the time suggest utilizing finely floor almond flour for baking in order that the crust can have simply the precise texture. The gelatin is my favourite complete, meals binder for gluten-free baking.

The components are pulsed within the meals processor till they type a dough. Then, it’s pressed within the pan and baked.

Subsequent is the filling! It’s a mixture of butter, honey, eggs, lemon zest, juice and sea salt. A lightweight coloured honey like this one is what I like to make use of in my baking. It has a clear taste and pairs very well with lemon.

The lemon tart is topped with billowy whipped cream. You should utilize no matter berries you want to complete off the tart!
