Ingredients
 

Crust

  • 1/4 cup vegan butter can substitute coconut oil
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/3 cup tapioca starch
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Filling

  • 2 cups raw unsalted cashews soaked in hot water for 30 minutes
  • 1 cup coconut cream
  • 2/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric optional, for color

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Melt the vegan butter or coconut oil in a medium sized mixing bowl in the microwave.
  • Once melted, add in the almond flour, tapioca starch, maple syrup and sea salt. Mix well to combine, until a dough forms.
  • Transfer the dough to the parchment lined baking pan and press into the pan until even.
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add all of the filling ingredients into a high-speed blender canister and blend until completely smooth.
  • Taste the filling and adjust flavors as desired.
  • When the crust is done, allow it to cool for 5 minutes, then pour the filling on top and spread smooth with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  • Bake the lemon bars for 25 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for 20 minutes. Finally place in the fridge to cool for 3-4 hours, or overnight to set before slicing.

Notes

  • Only use freshly squeezed lemon juice. Pre-bottled will not taste good.
