Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • pie plate
  • Small saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Large bowl

Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 6 tablespoons butter softened
  • 3/4 cup erythritol
  • 3/4 cup dried shredded coconut unsweetened
  • 3/4 cup super fine almond flour
  • pinch of salt

For the Filling

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup erythritol sweetener
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup lemon zest
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1 Tablespoon erythritol sweetener

Instructions

For the Crust

  • Combine the butter, erythritol, coconut, almond flour and salt in a medium bowl and mix until a dough forms.
  • Press the dough into a pie plate, going all the way up the sides.
  • Bake the crust at 350 degrees (F) for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

For the Filling

  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan on low heat.
  • Remove from heat and whisk in 1/2 cup sweetener, lemon juice, and lemon zest until dissolved. Whisk in the egg yolks and return to the stove over low heat.
  • Whisk continually until the curd starts to thicken.
  • Remove from the heat and strain into a small bowl. Chill.
  • In a large bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, xanthan gum, and 1 Tbsp sweetener together until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold 1/3 of the whipped cream mixture into the chilled lemon curd until combined.
  • Add the lightened lemon curd mixture to the remaining whipped cream and gently fold together until fully combined, but still fluffy.
  • Spoon the filling into the cooled pie crust. Garnish with additional whipped cream and lemon zest if desired.
  • Serve chilled. Will keep up to a week in the refrigerator.

Notes

Sweetener tip: Use powdered erythritol or powdered allulose rather than granulated options to avoid a gritty, crunchy texture in the chilled filling.
Crust success: Cool the baked crust completely before adding the lemon filling so the base stays crisp and does not turn damp.
Texture tip: Patiently cook the curd on low heat until it thickens like yogurt and leaves a visible trail behind the whisk to prevent a runny filling.
