Bright, citrusy, and silky smooth, this lemon tart delivers serious patisserie energy with a completely grain-free, paleo-friendly ingredient list. The crust comes together from almond flour, coconut oil, honey, and a pinch of sea salt — pressed into the pan and baked until the edges turn golden and fragrant. The filling is a proper lemon curd made from scratch: whole eggs, egg yolks, fresh lemon juice, zest, honey, and coconut oil, cooked low and slow until thick and glossy, then strained for that perfectly clean, velvety texture. Because every single component is built from whole-food ingredients, there's no need to scan labels or worry about unwanted nuts sneaking in through a store-bought shell or pre-made curd. The double bake — crust first, then filled — gives you a set, sliceable tart that holds its shape beautifully after a couple of hours in the fridge. It's the kind of dessert that looks like you spent all day on it, even though the process is genuinely straightforward. Serve it cold and let that sharp, sunny lemon flavor do all the talking.

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.
