1. For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale
2. In a bowl or food processor, add the coconut flour, flaxseed, sweetener, salt and mix until well combined.
3. Add the cold cubed butter and use either food processor, pastry cutter or hands to mash the butter until small pieces with crumbly texture.
4. Add the eggs, cold water and mix until a dough is formed. Shape the dough into a ball.
5. Place the dough onto a greased 9" non-stick pie pan with a removable bottom. Spread evenly with hands until the entire pan is covered. This crust is quite thick so if you prefer a thinner crust, you can decrease the crust recipe by 1/3 or make into 2 smaller pie pans.
6. Prick some holes with a fork. Then chill the dough for 15 mins.
7. Once the dough is chilled, do a blind bake. Cover the dough with a parchment paper and fill with anything suitable or pie weights to weigh down the dough. Tent the pan with foil to prevent from overbrowning of the edges.
8. Bake at 350F or 180C for about 15 mins. Then remove the weights and paper and bake for another 15 mins or until slightly browned.
9. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a bowl, add the sweetener, eggs, egg yolks, salt and whisk until well combined.
10. Add the lemon juice, zest and whisk until well combined.
11. Add the whipping cream and whisk until well combined.
12. When the crust is ready, pour the filling onto the crust.
13. Bake at a lower heat at 300F or 150C for about 20 mins or until the filling is just set. You can touch the filling and if it feels set or firm, then it is ready. Do not overbake as it will cause browning on the top of the filling.
14. After baking, remove the foil and let it cool to room temperature. Then chill for at least 1 hour before slicing.
15. This lemon tart can be refrigerated up to a week and it tastes so refreshing and delicious when chilled.
