Keto Creamy Lemon Squares

Ingredients:

For the crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

For the lemon filling:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or your preferred low-carb sweetener)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Make the crust:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a bowl, mix together the almond flour, sweetener, salt, and vanilla extract.
  • Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture is well combined and forms a dough.
  • Press the dough into the bottom of an 8×8-inch square baking pan, creating an even layer.
  • Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
2. Make the lemon filling:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, sweetener, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well-combined.
3. Assemble and bake:
  • Once the crust has cooled slightly, pour the lemon filling over the crust and spread it evenly.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer wobbles when you gently shake the pan.
  • The top may slightly brown, which is perfectly fine!
4. Cool and serve:
  • Let the lemon squares cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours to allow the filling to firm up.
  • Once chilled, cut into squares and serve.

Optional: Top with a little whipped cream or a dusting of powdered erythritol for extra sweetness!
