Bright, tangy, and silky smooth, this lemon tart is the kind of dessert that looks like it came from a fancy patisserie but comes together entirely in your own kitchen. The crust is built from almond flour, coconut oil, honey, and a pinch of sea salt — pressed into the pan and baked until the edges turn a gorgeous golden brown. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of pork and pork-derived products, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved. The filling is a proper lemon curd made on the stovetop, whisked constantly until it thickens into something luxuriously glossy, then strained for an ultra-smooth finish. Coconut oil stands in for butter throughout, giving both the crust and curd a clean richness that lets the bright citrus flavor really shine. After a quick second bake and a couple of hours in the fridge, you get clean, elegant slices with a tender, nutty base and a filling that's tart, sweet, and perfectly set. 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.
