Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit (electric). Line the bottom of a tart/pie dish with parchment paper and grease the sides.
- In a blender or with a hand mixer (use a tall jug), blend the ingredients for the tart base until they resemble sticky crumbles and the coconut is starting to release its oils.
- Press the dough into a tart or pie dish with your fingers. My dish measured 22 cm at the bottom and 26 cm at the top.
- Bake for around 20 minutes until the tart crust is lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool down. Then remove tart base from the pan.
- Mix the cream cheese, sour cream, sweetener, lemon juice and zest in a bowl until smooth.
- Dissolve your gelatine according to your manufacturer's instructions (I dissolved mine in a few tablespoons of hot water) and add to the filling mix. Blend and fill into the tart base.
- Cool the tart in the fridge until set, a minimum of 2 hours or overnight. Decorate with more lemon zest or to your liking.
Notes
- 3g net carbs per slice. Makes 12 generous slices. The tart could also yield 16 smaller slices.
- Option to top the tart with a layer of whipped cream or sugar free lemon curd.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze pre-sliced for up to 3 months.
