Paleo French Lemon Tart

(from greenfood’s recipe box)

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves 8 people

Ingredients

  • crust
  • 1⁄2 cup avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • Pinch salt
  • Filling:
  • Zest of one lemon
  • 3⁄4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 5-6 lemons)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1⁄2 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup coconut cream, from a chilled, unshaken can of full fat coconut milk

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine Otto’s Naturals – Cassava Flour, avocado oil, salt and maple syrup. The dough will look like a thick cake batter.

  3. Mix in 3 tablespoons of water (the water will actually make the dough thicker and drier, believe it or not). If the dough is still on the wet side, add another 1⁄2 – 1 tablespoon of water.

  4. Press into a 9-inch tart pan and place on a baking sheet. Using a fork, poke holes all over the bottom of the crust.

  5. Bake for 12 minutes

  6. Make the Filling:
  7. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, eggs, honey and coconut cream.

  8. Pour into the par-baked crust and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until just set (the center should still jiggle a little bit and will firm up as it cools).

  9. Allow to cool completely before serving, about one hour.
