Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 Egg yolk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 3 Eggs
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.
Add the melted coconut oil, honey, and egg yolk to the dry ingredients, and mix until the dough comes together.
Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, ensuring it's evenly spread and pressed up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent puffing.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, Greek yogurt, and cornstarch until smooth.
Pour the lemon filling into the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the tart for 15-18 minutes, or until the filling is just set and slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool to room temperature for about 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully set.
Before serving, optionally dust the top with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
Slice and enjoy your lightened-up French lemon tart!
