Ingredients

For the crust

For the lemon curd

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 F and line an 8x8" baking pan with parchment paper
  • Start with the crust by mixing together the two flours, and then stirring in the wet ingredients until well combined.
  • Evenly flatten the crust in the bottom of the pan and puncture the crust with a fork several times.
  • Bake the crust until lightly golden brown for about 20 minutes. Set aside and allow to completely cool.
  • To make the lemon curd, combine the coconut cream, lemon juice, honey, golden coconut sugar, and vanilla in a medium pot. Add the arrowroot starch and whisk well to combine.
  • Add the pot to the stove on low heat. Heat on low, whisking often for about 3-4 minutes until it thickens.
  • Pour the lemon curd over the crust and use a spatula to even out the lemon curd. Place in the fridge for 3-4 hours (preferably overnight) until fully set.
  •  Carefully remove from the pan and slice into 9 even slices. Serve chilled. 

Notes

For the coconut cream, you can use canned coconut cream, or coconut cream that hardens on top of a can of coconut milk. You'll only use the hardened/creamy coconut cream, not any of the liquid!
