Equipment
- 9-inch pie dish
- mixing bowls
- saucepan
- whisk
- electric mixer
- kitchen torch or broiler
Ingredients
- ¾ cup coconut flour
- ⅓ cup melted butter (or coconut oil)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons powdered allulose
- 1 pinch salt
- 8 large egg yolks
- ¾ cup hot water
- 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 cup powdered allulose (for filling)
- 1 pinch salt (for filling)
- 2 tablespoons butter (stirred into lemon curd)
- 8 large egg whites
- ½ teaspoon monk fruit liquid sweetener or ⅓ cup powdered allulose
- 1 pinch fine sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix coconut flour, melted butter, eggs, sweetener, and salt. Press into a 9-inch pie dish, prick bottom with a fork. Bake 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool.
- Whisk egg yolks and set aside. Bloom gelatin in hot water. In saucepan, combine lemon juice, zest, sweetener, salt, and yolks. Cook over medium, stirring constantly. Add bloomed gelatin and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from heat, stir in butter. Let cool slightly, then pour into crust. Chill in fridge.
- In a glass/metal bowl, add egg whites, sweetener, and salt. Set over simmering water and stir for 4–5 minutes until warm and smooth. Whip with mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Spread or pipe meringue over chilled pie, sealing to crust edges. Torch until golden or broil for 1–2 minutes (watch closely!).
Notes
To switch to almond flour crust, double the amount and add xanthan gum or an extra egg for structure. Avoid erythritol to prevent grit in meringue or filling. Always zest lemons before juicing and use room temp eggs for best meringue volume. Broil carefully — the meringue burns fast!
