Ingredients

• 150 grams Almond flour
• 30 grams Coconut flour
• 60 grams Coconut oil
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 5 large Eggs
• 400 ml Full-fat coconut milk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 2 tablespoons Arrowroot powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to easily lift the slice once done.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, and salt. Add in the melted coconut oil and 1 tablespoon of honey and combine until it forms a crumbly mixture.

Step 3

Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until just lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, remaining 2 tablespoons honey, vanilla extract, arrowroot powder, and lemon zest until fully combined and smooth.

Step 5

Pour the custard mixture over the pre-baked crust. Carefully transfer the dish back into the oven.

Step 6

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the custard has set and is lightly golden on top. It should jiggle slightly in the center when moved.

Step 7

Remove the custard slice from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to completely set.

Step 8

Once cooled and firm, use the parchment paper to lift the slice out of the dish. Cut into 8 pieces.

Step 9

Sprinkle with a dusting of ground cinnamon before serving.
