Ingredients
- 4 medium eggs
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 100 g ground almonds
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1 cup lemon juice
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup plain flour
- Crème fraîche, yoghurt or whipped cream, to serve
Method
- 1Preheat oven to 170°C fan bake. Grease a 24cm flan tin.
- 2Place all of the ingredients in your food processor and blitz for 1 minute. Pour into the flan tin and place on a tray (to catch any small leaks) in the oven, baking for 45-60 minutes. Take care that it doesn't brown too much on top while cooking. If it is, cover loosely with foil.
- 3When cooked and cooled, remove from the tin and serve with crème fraîche, yoghurt or whipped cream on the side.
Notes
When Mum first made this for me, I flipped out – it was as good as any lemon tart I'd eaten and yet ridiculously easy to make! Try decorating the top with some thinly sliced glazed lemon if you really want to up the wow factor.
