Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered erythritol, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
- Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- While the crust is cooling, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered erythritol and lemon zest until well combined.
- Add the lemon juice, eggs, and heavy cream to the bowl with the sweetened lemon zest. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
- Pour the lemon filling over the slightly cooled crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake the bars in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer jiggly in the center.
- Remove the bars from the oven and let them cool completely in the baking dish. Once cooled, transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Once chilled, lift the bars out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
