Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
  • The oven should be preheated to a temperature of 325ยฐF (160ยฐC). Prepare the 8ร—8 inch (20ร—20 cm) baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper for convenient removal.
2. Prepare the Crust:
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered erythritol, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Press the Crust:
  • The dough should be evenly pressed into the bottom of the baking dish in order to create the crust.
4. Bake the Crust:
  • The crust should be baked in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until it exhibits a slight golden hue. Retrieve the item from the oven and allow it to cool to a moderate temperature.
5. Make the Lemon Filling:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, powdered erythritol, heavy cream, almond flour, xanthan gum (if using), and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well combined.
6. Pour Over the Crust:
  • Pour the lemon filling over the pre-baked crust.
7. Bake Again:
  • Place the baking dish back in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set, with just a slight jiggle in the center.
8. Cool and Chill:
  • Allow the lemon squares to cool in the baking dish, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
