Lemon tart is always a winner! This mouthwatering gluten-free recipe uses shredded coconut in the base, which adds an extra summery, tropical feel. Delicious!
To start making the crust, process/blend shredded coconut to a finer consistency.
Whisk 1 egg and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Add this to the other ingredients for the crust, including the coconut, and mix well using fingers.
Roll crust mixture into a ball and wrap in a Bee Eco Wrap (https://changinghabits.com.au/product/bee-eco-wraps-3-pack/) and place in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Grease a baking tin with butter (or coconut oil) and remove crust mixture from the fridge. Press the crust mixture into the baking tin and spread evenly, turning the mixture up at the edges.
Place crust in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden.
Add all of the filling ingredients into a bowl and whisk until smooth.
Remove crust from oven and turn the oven down to 160 degrees Celsius.
Pour filling ingredients onto hot crust and return to the oven for 15 minutes **It is important that the filling is poured onto a hot crust - if it is cold, the filling mixture can seep through**
Remove from oven and set aside to cool for 30 minutes. Once cooled, place in the refrigerator.
Once set, slice and serve! This is delicious served with whipped coconut cream.

When and where do you add the honey and butter for the crust? Also how big a tin is this recipe for?
Hi Tasha. You add the butter and honey for the crust in step 2. We have updated the directions slightly to make this clearer 🙂 Let us know how you go!
Hi.
Wondering what size tin you use for the lemon tart please?
Hello Lynne, this was a 25cm round tin.
