Healthy Lemon Curd Tarts
These tarts are a great way to enjoy a dessert that feels indulgent without compromising on health. The zesty lemon curd is made using wholesome ingredients, and the light tart crust complements the filling beautifully.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust to your taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- Fresh berries for garnish (optional)
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and salt. Stir until the mixture is well combined and forms a dough.
- Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan. Make sure it’s even. You can use a fork to poke holes in the crust to prevent it from puffing up.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, until it’s lightly golden. Remove and let it cool.
- While the crust is cooling, prepare the lemon curd. In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the eggs, fresh lemon juice, honey (or agave syrup), and lemon zest.
- Continue to whisk constantly until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Make sure not to let it boil!
- Once thickened, remove from heat and pour the lemon curd into the cooled tart crust, smoothing it out evenly.
- Let it cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to set.
- When ready to serve, garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves if desired.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy your Healthy Lemon Curd Tarts!
