Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free powdered sugar

Filling

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free powdered sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 1/2 TBS coconut flour

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 x 8 baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together 2 cups almond flour, melted butter, and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until it's combined and crumbly. Place mixture into prepared baking dish and press firmly to form the crust evenly.
  • Bake crust in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  • In the meantime while crust is baking make the filling.
  • Using an electric hand mixer beat the softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar together. Slowly add in lemon juice.
    NOTE: this will not be a smooth mixture. The butter will be in tiny pieces which is fine as it will melt in oven creating pockets of goodness.
  • Add in all eggs & egg yolk along with the coconut flour. Beat until combined. Again the butter will not absorb into mixture but will melt during cooking process.
  • Pour mixture over hot baked crust in baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes until firm.
  • Allow to cool in baking dish completely. Place in refrigerator for 1 1/2 - 2 hours until set. Sprinkle with extra powdered sugar and enjoy.
