What You Will Need

For the Crust:

  • Almond Flour - 3/4 cup of fine almond flour. I used the Organic Fine Almond Flour by the brand Prozis. You can use the code KATIE10 for 10% off their website!
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon.
  • Coconut Oil - 2 tablespoons of organic coconut oil. You can get this at Prozis with my discount as well!
  • Greek Yogurt - 2 tablespoons of plain, nonfat Greek yogurt to help the crust stick together.
  • Monk Fruit - 1/4 cup of confectioners (powdered) style monk fruit or sweetener of choice.

For the Filling:

  • Eggs - 3 large eggs.
  • Lemon Juice - 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  • Lemon Zest - The zest of one large lemon. This really brings out the lemon flavor!
  • Monk Fruit - 1/4 cup of granular monk fruit or sweetener of choice, for the lemon filling.
