Why This Dish Is Worth Trying

This dessert combines bright, tangy lemon flavor with a crust made from wholesome ingredients. It’s a refreshing treat that satisfies sweet cravings without processed sugars or grains. Perfect for those who want a guilt-free indulgence.

Smart Cooking Tips

- Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor.
- Make sure the crust ingredients are well chilled before pressing them into the pan.
- Let the pie chill in the fridge for several hours to firm up properly.

Step 1

Warm your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, sucralose sweetener, butter, and cinnamon until the mixture comes together. Press this into the bottom and up the sides of a deep-dish pie plate to create your crust. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 7 minutes, or until it feels firm to the touch. Once done, let it cool completely.

Step 2

While the crust cools, whip the cream cheese in a bowl until it's light and fluffy. Then, mix in the sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Add the lemon juice and a teaspoon of lemon zest, beating everything together until well combined. Pour this filling into your cooled crust.

Step 3

Place the pie in the fridge and let it chill for around 4 hours, or until the filling has set nicely. Before serving, spread some whipped topping over the lemon filling and sprinkle the remaining teaspoon of lemon zest on top for a little extra zing. Enjoy!

Serving Inspiration

Serve slices with a dollop of coconut whipped cream or a sprinkle of toasted nuts. It pairs nicely with a cup of herbal tea or a fresh berry salad for a light, balanced dessert.

Leftover Storage Tips

Keep the pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze individual slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and thaw in the fridge before serving.
