This is, without any doubt, one of our favourite keto desserts. It is creamy, crunchy, sweet and sour at the same time, and once you make it, you’ll want to start making it every week.
This dessert is also great for a special occasion or a party, and your non-keto guests will also love it. In fact, they would never guess it is low carb and sugar free.
This cake might seem complicated because of the different stages – crust, filling and topping – but it really isn’t. The most important part is to stir well the filling mix when you pour in the eggs, so that they don’t cook immediately.
You can store this cake for about 2-3 days in the fridge (because of the eggs). Transfer in a plastic box or cover it with plastic wrap, so that it doesn’t dry too much. If you like, you can serve it with a bit of whipping cream (with no sugar).
Let’s Ketofy It!
Let the oven preheat at 200C (~400F).
First, prepare the crust: Combine the coconut flour, almond flour, half tsp of lemon zest, half cup of erythritol, and 2 tbsp of butter. Add 2 tbsp of water as well. Stir well to incorporate.
Spray your baking dish with cooking oil. Flatten the crust mixture on the bottom of the dish. Bake for 15 minutes in the oven. When the crust sets and crisps, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Next, make the filling: Pour the almond milk in a saucepan on low heat along with the rest of the erythritol and a tablespoon of butter. Mix continuously until the erythritol is completely dissolved. Include the lemon zest and lemon juice into the saucepan as well. Mix till combined.
Beat the eggs in a bowl then pour this into the pan while stirring. Continue mixing for 10 minutes or so until you obtain a thick mixture.
Evenly spread the mixture on top of the crust. Bake it again in the oven for 15 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare the topping in a blender. Blend the remaining butter, coconut chips (shredded coconut), and sliced almonds for a minute.
Cover the top of the cake with the blended toppings. Bake again for 5 minutes to achieve a golden topping with incredible fragrance.
Remove from the oven and let stand to cool before slicing into pieces. Enjoy!
