This lemon tart, made with a buttery crust and candy and citrusy lemon filling, is an excellent strategy to finish a meal!

The shortbread crust has 1/2 cup of coconut so as to add some further taste and crisp texture. It may be troublesome 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 number of days a head of time and maintain 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 at all times advocate utilizing finely floor almond flour for baking in order that the crust can have simply the appropriate texture. The gelatin is my favourite complete, meals binder for gluten-free baking.

The components are pulsed within the meals processor till they kind 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 rather well with lemon.

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