Keto Lemon Tart

Keto lemon tart is a very simple recipe – basically just a shortbread crust and lemon custard filling. It is tangy and fruity and makes a great low-carb dessert, especially for those of you who miss eating lots of fruit.

Keto lemon tart – making the crust

This part is quite simple – we are going to use ground almonds, egg whites and butter. I also added a spoonful of psyllium husks to improve texture. You could use xanthan gum or guar gum instead, or just skip this step – the crust might be a bit more crumbly then, but it doesn’t matter too much as the filling will help to hold it together to some extent.

Keto lemon tart – making the filling

The filling has a similar texture to cheesecake, but lighter and a bit more creamy. You will need to get some unwaxed lemons for this, as we will be using the zest. I used four small lemons, but really it depends on your preferences. Taste the mixture before baking to make sure the balance between sweet and tangy notes is right for you.

When mixing filling ingredients, take care not to overbeat it. If there are many small bubbles on the surface, they will get baked in and the texture won’t be even on top.



Decorating

I put a layer of slightly sweetened whipped cream on top of the tart. It looks nice and works well against the tangy lemony taste of the filling. Other options could be powdered sweetener (just blitz it in a coffee grinder) or bits of fresh lemon.

Prep time:10 min | Cook time:50 min | Total time:60 min Yield: 1 9″ tart (8 servings)

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1.5 cups (140g / 4.5oz) ground almonds
  • 1 tbsp Truvia
  • 1 tbsp psyllium husks
  • 1 small pinch of salt
  • 3 egg whites (save the yolks to use for the filling)
  • 60g (2oz) unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

  • grated zest and juice of 4 small lemons or 3 average-sized lemons
  • 3 egg yolks (saved from making the crust) plus 2 whole eggs
  • 1/2 cup (80g / 3oz) Truvia
  • 150 ml (5 oz) double cream (this is called heavy cream in USA)

For decorating (optional)

  • Extra 50 ml (5 oz) double cream, whipped

Instructions

Make the crust first

  1. Preheat oven to 190C/375F/Gas Mark 5
  2. Mix dry ingredients together
  3. Slightly beat egg whites
  4. Combine dry ingredients with egg whites and melted butter and mix thoroughly into dough
  5. Put the dough into a loose-base tart tin (I used 23cm wide one)
  6. Press the dough into the tin using your fingers to make up a crust
  7. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until slightly golden
  8. Take out and cool completely

Make the filling

  1. Grate the zest and squeeze juice from the lemons
  2. Beat egg yolks, eggs and Truvia together lightly
  3. Add cream to the egg mixture and stir with a spoon
  4. Add lemon zest and juice and mix well
  5. Place the tart tin with the crust on top of a baking tray (in case of any leaks)
  6. Pour filling mixture into the crust
  7. Bake at 160C/Gas Mark 3 for 45 minutes, or until fully set (wobble the tray gently and watch the filling to make sure it’s not too liquidy)
  8. Take out and cool completely before serving
  9. Decorate with whipped cream, powdered sweetener and bits of lemon
