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 surprisingly short ingredient list. The crust is built entirely from almond flour, coconut oil, honey, and a pinch of sea salt — pressed into the pan and baked until golden, it has a satisfying, slightly nutty crunch that plays beautifully against the creamy filling. The lemon curd is made low and slow on the stovetop, whisked constantly until thick and glossy, then strained for that perfectly smooth, restaurant-quality texture. Coconut oil stands in for butter throughout, keeping the whole tart grain-free and dairy-free without sacrificing any richness. The double hit of fresh lemon juice and zest gives the filling a bold, sunny flavor that's tart enough to wake up your taste buds but balanced by the natural sweetness of honey. After a quick bake to set the edges and a couple of hours in the fridge, you get clean, elegant slices that hold their shape beautifully. This is the kind of crowd-pleasing dessert you can bring to any gathering without having to explain a single ingredient.

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.
