Ingredients

Lemon Curd - make this first

1 cup lemon juice about 4-5 lemons squeezed to death.
2-3 tbsp lemon zest * to taste -from the same lemons that you squeezed
5 large eggs
1 cup Allulose NOTE: If you use erythritol or another sweetener this may not thicken as well.
4 tablespoons butter * chilled-cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch salt

Berry Topping

½ lb Strawberries * sliced thin

The Almond Flour Crust Base

1½ cup almond flour
4 tbsp Allulose
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
6 tbsp butter melted
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Lemon Curd - Make this first

Whisk lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, and allulose in a cold medium sized sauce pan.
Forget what you know about tempering eggs.
Start whisking and slowly heat on medium/low heat until the mix gets thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Don't stop whisking and make sure your getting around the edge of the pot too.
Remove pan from heat and stir in butter. Once melted, stir in vanilla, and salt. If the curd didn’t thicken enough to your liking, simply return to heat and cook a bit longer, stirring constantly (don't stop), until it thickens enough to coat the spoon.
Taste for sweetness and adjust if needed.

The Crust Base

Lightly toast almond flour in a dry skillet or pan over medium heat, until golden (2-4 minutes). Don't skip this step!
Spoon toasted almond flour to a large mixing bowl and mix in Allulose, cinnamon and salt.
Add in melted butter and extract, mix until thoroughly combined.
(it will seem dry at first. Keep Mixing)
Spoon almond mixture into your tart pan and press it into the bottom and slightly up the sides with the back of a spoon.
Spoon the lemon curd onto the top of the crust and smooth over. Chill for at least 2 hours or until cold set and arrange the sliced strawberries over the top if using.
Serve cold as is, or with low carb whipped cream if desired.

Notes

The nutritional info is based on making 10 servings.

You can use a tart pan or a cheesecake pan to make this dessert. A larger pan will result in a thin tart. A small pan will be much thicker. I used an 11 inch cheesecake pan.
