Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (for lemon filling)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
  2. Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine almond flour, erythritol, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix until crumbly, then press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  3. Prepare the Lemon Filling: In another bowl, whisk together eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, erythritol, and baking powder until smooth.
  4. Combine Layers: Pour the lemon filling over the baked crust and spread it evenly.
  5. Bake: Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Refrigerate for a couple of hours for the best texture.
