Instructions

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Set aside an 8 x 8″ (20 x 20 cm) baking dish or a non-stick baking dish coated with parchment paper.

   2. In a food processor bowl or a medium-sized mixing basin, combine the almond flour, erythritol, and salt. Mix in the melted butter until it is crumbly and well mixed.

   3. Using your fingertips or the backside of a measuring cup, press evenly into the bottom of the baking dish.

   4. Bake for 15 minutes on the center oven rack, or until brown around the edges. Prepare the lemon filling while the crust bakes.

Filling: lemon

1. Whisk together the eggs and erythritol in a medium-sized mixing dish. Combine the melted butter, lemon juice and zest, vanilla extract, salt, and almond flour in a mixing bowl. Mix until everything is smooth and blended.

2. Fill the pre-baked crust with the filling and level the top with a spatula if necessary. Bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the filling has firmed up but remains soft. Allow to cool before serving.

3. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours after covering. Sift the powdered erythritol over the lemon filling and cut into squares to serve.
