Ingredients

BASE:

1 cup almond meal

1 cup desiccated coconut

2 tbsp maple syrup

1/4 cup melted coconut oil

1 tsp vanilla essence


LEMON CURD:

3 eggs

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup coconut oil

Zest of 1.5-2 large lemons and 1/2 cup lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

Add all ‘base’ ingredients in a bowl and mix with a fork until combined and the mixture is slightly sticky/wet.


Step 2

Pour into a relatively small lined tart tin and evenly spread the mixture in and around the tin.


Step 3

Bake in oven for 15-20 mins on 180°C or until golden.


Step 4

Meanwhile, make the curd. In a medium saucepan, gently whisk the eggs and honey over low heat until it comes together.


Step 5

Add in the coconut oil. Cook, whisking occasionally until the oil is melted. (About 2-5 mins).


Step 6

Add in the lemon juice and zest and continue whisking gently until the mixture becomes thick.


Step 7

Remove from heat and continue whisking for another minute.


Step 8

Immediately pour mixture through a sieve to get out any clumps.


Step 9

Pour the mixture over ‘base’ and allow to set in fridge for a few hours/overnight.
