Ingredients
  

Shortbread:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 5 tbsp butter melted
  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Lemon Filling:

  • 4 eggs + 1 yolk
  • 2/3 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot flour
  • Optional: powdered sugar for sprinkling on top

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a glass 8×8 pan with parchment paper.
  • Mix all shortbread ingredients together thoroughly. Spread dough evenly across bottom, pushing up the edges slightly higher to form a crust for the lemon filling. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until sides are gold brown
  • While shortbread is baking, make filling. Whisk together eggs and one yolk, then add in honey, lemon juice, and left zest. Whisk together gently. In a small bowl, mix arrowroot flour with 1 tbsp water until no clumps remain, then add to egg mixture.
  • When shortbread comes out of oven, reduce temperature to 325 degrees and immediately pour lemon filling over top.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes. Let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
  • Cut into 12 bars, sprinkle powdered sugar on top (optional) and enjoy!
