Bright, citrusy, and silky smooth, this lemon tart is the kind of dessert that looks like it came from a fancy patisserie but comes together in your own kitchen with a short list of wholesome ingredients. The crust is built from almond flour, coconut oil, honey, and a pinch of sea salt — pressed into a tart pan and baked until the edges turn golden and the center firms up beautifully. The filling is a proper lemon curd made on the stovetop, whisked constantly until thick and glossy, then strained for that impossibly smooth, velvety texture. Fresh lemon juice and zest give it a punchy brightness that's balanced by honey and rich coconut oil, with no refined sugar or dairy anywhere in sight. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, it's worth noting that this recipe relies entirely on almond flour with zero hazelnut products in the crust or filling, so you can bake with confidence. After a quick second bake to set the curd and a couple of hours in the fridge, you get clean, elegant slices that hold their shape and taste like pure sunshine. It's the kind of tart that disappears fast at any table.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom with a small amount of coconut oil.
In a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, melted coconut oil, honey, and salt until the mixture resembles damp, clumping sand. Press it evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart pan, using the flat bottom of a measuring cup to compact it into an even layer about 1/4 inch thick.
