Ingredients
For the Pie Crust:
- 1/4 cup almond meal
- 1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons coconut flour (available from health food and specialty stores)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, softened
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (you could substitute honey etc)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Lemon Filling:
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 3/4 cup coconut cream (place open can in fridge overnight and spoon off the thick cream from the top)
- 150ml lemon juice
- zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
For the Pie Crust:
- Preheat oven to 175C/350F. Grease/Spray a 20cm (8 inch) spring form cake tin or pie dish (a 22cm/9inch can also be used).
- Mix the dry ingredients in a blender.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and blend until combined. A dough ball will form.
- Roll the doughnut between 2 sheets of baking paper and trace a plate/tin bigger than tart tin. Gently place circle in tin. Use excess dough to ensure an even edge.
- Alternatively, spread dough evenly in tin and up edges by hand (This is my method of laziest choice!).
- Pierce the bottom of pie crust with a knife 4 to 5 times to prevent the dough ‘bubbling’.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bottom is cooked without the edges burning.
- Remove from the oven and make the lemon filling.
For the Lemon Filling:
- Reduce the oven temperature to 150C/300F.
- Place the eggs and maple syrup in the bowl of a kitchen stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk until pale and just thickened (approximately 3 minutes).
- Lightly whisk or stir in the coconut cream, lemon juice and zest until combined and no white lumps of cream are visible.
- Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes then skim off the foam that has risen and settled on the top.
- Pour the mixture into the baked pie crust and bake for 50-55 minutes.
- The tart is ready when the top is set but the filling is still a bit wobbly underneath.
- Allow the tart to cool to room temperature then place in the fridge for at least 1 (but preferably overnight).
- Dust with Coconut Flour
- Serve but itself or with Whipped Coconut Cream.
- Keep refrigerated when not eating.
