Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lime zest
  • ½ cup fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free alternative)
  • 1½ cups fine blanched almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil (or butter)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch square pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium pot, mix granulated sugar and lime zest, then add lime juice, eggs, and flour; whisk until combined. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt; press into the lined pan.

  5. Return to the pot over medium-low heat and whisk the lime mixture until thickened (about 6-8 minutes). Strain through a sieve for smoothness.
