Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper.
- Make the crust: Mix almond flour, sweetener, salt, and vanilla. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 12–15 minutes until lightly golden.
- Make the filling: Whisk eggs, sweetener, lemon juice, zest, and cream until smooth. Stir in coconut flour (or xanthan gum). Pour over the warm crust.
- Bake for 18–25 minutes until the center is just set (it will firm up as it cools). Cool completely.
- Glaze: Whisk powdered erythritol with heavy cream (or lemon juice) and vanilla until smooth and pourable. Spread over cooled bars.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into 16 squares.
Notes & Tips
- Glaze: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. These bars also freeze well — wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
