Instructions

Making Your Crust

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Grease a 8 x 8 baking dish
  • Using a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugar substitute. Using an electric mixer beat until well-combined and fluffy.
  • Then add your almond flour. Mix until everything is incorporated.
  • Add chopped walnuts and transfer to the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes or just until the edges begin to brown.
  • Set it aside to completely cool before assembling the dessert.

Lemon Layer

  • In a medium mixing bowl, cream together your butter and natural sweetener using a electrick mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Add your eggs, one at a time while mixing on low speed, then add your yolks. Continue to beat on low until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Add the lemon juice and continue to mix on low speed until well incorporated. At this point your mixture will look lumpy and broken, but keep going.
  • Transfer your mixture to a medium sauce pan and place over low heat. Whisk until the mixture is headed and no longer lumpy.
  • Increase the heat to medium and stir constantly. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the sauce pan, until the mixture is thickened to a pudding texture.
  • Remove from heat, and sprinkle in your xanthan Gum on top and whisk it into your lemon mixture.
  • Transfer the mixture to a dish and place in the refrigerator to cool before assembling the dessert.

Second Layer (Cream Cheese)

  • Using a large mixing bowl, combine your cream cheese and powdered natural sweetener. Beat with a electric mixer until well combined. Add your lemon extract and sour cream. Mix until well combined, then mix in your heavy cream mixing until smooth and creamy.

Whipped Cream Layer

  • In a large bowl combine your heavy cream and powdered natural sweetener. Mix on high speed until the mixture has expanded and formed soft peaks. Sprinkle in your xanthan gum and continue mixing until the mixture forms stiff peaks.

Assembling Your Dessert

  • Make sure your crust layer is completely cooled. Add your cream cheese layer and evenly smooth into a flat layer. Next add your lemon layer on top of your cream cheese layer and gently smooth out. Lastly top with your whipped cream layer and smooth out.
  • Chill for a minimum of 1 hour (longer is better). You can make this up to 5 days in advance.
