Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • ½ cup powdered erythritol (divided)
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowls
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Measuring Cups & Spoons
  • 1 Baking pan (8x8 inch)
  • 1 Parchment Paper
  • 1 Spatula

Method
 

  1. Make the crust: In a bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, erythritol and a pinch of salt until mixture forms crumbly dough. Evenly press mixture into prepared 8x8-inch baking pan.
  2. Bake the base: Transfer pie crust to a 350F (175C) preheated oven and bake it for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Take out and cool down a little bit.
  3. Make the filling: In a separate large bowl, whisk together eggs, remaining erythritol, lemon juice, zest and vanilla until completely combined.
  4. Combine and bake: Pour the lemon mixture over the crust in the baked pan and return to oven. Bake 15 minutes, or until the filling is just set, firming slightly.
  5. Cool and chill: Let the dessert cool for 30 minutes, then refrigerate until cold, cut into squares.

Notes

  • Lemon Juice: Always go with fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • Don’t overbake the filling should be a little jiggly when you take it out.
  • Just be sure to chill the cake before cutting when you’re ready to slice.
  • I recommend using powdered sweetener for less graininess in the filling.
  • Increase the zing for a more pronounced citrus flavour.
