Ingredients
  

Crust:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ¼ cup erythritol
  • ½ tablespoon lemon zest to taste
  • 3 tablespoon butter softened

Filling:

  • 1 tablespoon butter softened
  • ¾ cup erythritol
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • ½ tablespoon lemon zest to taste
  • 5 large egg beaten

Topping:

  • ¾ cup unsweetened toasted coconut flakes
  • 2 tablespoon almond flour
  • ½ tablespoon butter

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 350F and prepare a 9×9 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl combine the almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, and lemon zest, then stir until all ingredients are uniformly mixed.
  • Cut the softened butter into the flour mix with a fork. You may want to dig in with your hands to thoroughly incorporate the butter into the flour.
  • Press the dough into the prepared baking dish and bake for 15 minutes or until crust is golden. Set aside while you prepare the filling.
  • Bring a saucepan to medium heat and add butter, erythritol, and milk. Stir until the butter and sugar have completely dissolved.
  • Pour in lemon juice. Be sure to use a strainer if you are using freshly squeezed juice!
  • Slowly whisk in the eggs and stir continuously over medium-low heat until the mixture begins to thicken. This should talk about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the lemon filling to your crust and return to the oven for 15 minutes. Prepare the topping.
  • In a small food processor or blender pulse the toasted coconut, almond flour, and butter until you have a grainy mixture.
  • Sprinkle topping on your lemon squares and return to the hot oven to crisp the top for approximately 5 minutes, or 1 minute under a hot broiler. Be careful not to burn the crumble!
  • Let cool before serving.
