Ingredients
  

For the crust:

For the creamy lemon filling:

  • 1 ¼ cup lemon juice about 9 lemons
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ cup maple crystals
  • ¾ cup cornstarch mixed with ½ cup almond milk

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preheating the oven to 350.
  • Add the walnuts and dates to the food processor and blend until you have crumbles. Add the cassava flour and blend again. Add the vanilla and water and blend. Once mixture begins to stick slightly, remove from food processor and press into a lined brownie pan. Poke with a fork randomly and place in the oven for 12 minutes.
  • While the crust is in the oven, juice the lemons.
  • Add the lemons, lemon zest, and maple crystals to a saucepan and cook until maple crystals have dissolved. Add almond milk. It will separate and look curdled, but do not worry that will go away.
  • Once boiling and smooth again add the cornstarch almond milk mixture. Whisk until thick and remove from heat.
  • Pour the lemon mixture onto the cooked crust and place in the fridge to cool for 3 hours. Once chilled, serve and enjoy!
