Description

Imagine a dessert that balances the tangy brightness of lemon with a smooth, creamy texture, all encased in a delicate, golden crust. This lemon tart offers just that—a symphony of flavors and textures perfect for any occasion. The pastry begins with a blend of finely ground almonds and flaxseed, lending a subtle nutty flavor and a satisfyingly crisp yet tender bite.

Sweetened delicately and enriched with coconut oil, the crust is baked to a beautiful golden brown, providing a sturdy and flavorful base for the luscious filling. The heart of this tart is the creamy lemon custard. Coconut milk and almond milk combine to create a rich, dairy-free base, infused with the vibrant zest and juice of fresh lemons.

A hint of vanilla adds a touch of warmth, complementing the tartness of the lemon. A special thickening agent ensures a perfectly smooth and creamy consistency, mimicking the classic custard texture without the need for traditional ingredients. As the tart chills, the custard firms up, allowing for clean, elegant slices.

Each bite delivers an initial burst of lemon, followed by the comforting creaminess of the custard and the subtle crunch of the almond-flaxseed crust. The result is a refreshing and indulgent dessert that is both satisfying and light. Serve this lemon tart chilled and sliced to showcase its beautiful layers and textures.

For an extra touch, consider adding a scattering of fresh berries such as sliced strawberries or blueberries, their sweetness complementing the lemon perfectly. Alternatively, a dollop of chilled, whipped coconut cream adds another layer of richness and enhances the overall experience.

Instructions

    1.
    Add the ground almonds, erythritol, flaxseed and salt to a mixing bowl. Stir well to combine. Add the melted coconut oil and stir again.
    2.
    Add the water a little at a time, while working the mix with your hands until a dough forms. The dough should be firm and holding together well. It should be easy to shape and not too sticky.
    3.
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and select a 7 inch loose bottom tart tin. Press the dough into the base and sides of the tart case so that it is of an even thickness all over. Prick the base of the tart case all over with a fork. Transfer to the oven to bake for 18-20 minutes or until crisp, firm and golden. Set aside to cool completely.
    4.
    While the tart case is cooling, you can prepare the filling. Add the almond milk, coconut cream, erythritol, lemon juice, vanilla and zest to a small saucepan. Set over a medium heat and bring up to a gentle boil. Whisk well to combine until smooth. You may add more or less sweetener and lemon according to taste.
    5.
    Reduce the milk mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the coconut oil until melted, then whisk a teaspoon of xanthan gum into the hot milk until smooth and well combined. Continue to whisk in the remaining xanthan gum a little at a time until fully incorporated. The mixture should be thick and creamy in consistency, like a heavy custard. If you would like a thicker, denser pudding, you can add more gum, but please note it will firm on chilling.
    6.
    Spoon the lemon custard into the cooked tart case and set aside to cool. Once cool, transfer to the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours or until firm and set. Carefully remove the tart from the case and slice to serve.
