Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 4 large eggs free-range
  • 120 g (1/2 cup) butter, grass-fed we used goat butter
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp orange zest
  • 1 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/3 tsp citric acid
  • 4 micro scoops 100% stevia extract Ideally, you will use monk fruit extract
  • 4 tbsp almond flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 tbsp dried coconut crumbs
  • 1 tbsp psyllium powder

Filling

  • 6 large egg yolks free range
  • 3 large egg whites free range
  • 100 ml (1/2 cup) lemon juice organic, freshly squeezed
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 300 g mascarpone organic, additives free
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract alternatively use Rum extract
  • 4 micro-scoops 10% stevia extract or monk fruit

Instructions
 

  • Beat the eggs with melted butter for 5 minutes. Add sweetener, salt, citric acid, lemon zest, orange zest and ground cloves.
  • Combine together all the dry ingredients and start adding them to the wet ingredients spoon by spoon while mixing on a lower speed. The dough will thicken.
  • Grease an 11-inch pie pan with some coconut oil and place the dough in the middle. Press it with your fingers to spread it all over the pan's bottom and sides. Stub the dough with a fork.
  • Preheat the oven to 200ºC (400ºF) and bake the crust for 10 minutes.
  • for the filling, beat the eggs with sweetener and vanilla extract for 2-3 minutes. Then add lemon juice and lemon zest. Keep beating. At this point add mascarpone and mix well. The mixture will be "liquidish" but don't worry, it will thicken in the oven. 
  • Pour this mixture in the semi-baked crust and return to the oven. Reduce the temperature to 180ºC (350ºF) and bake it for 15-17 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the pie sit inside for 10 more minutes. 

Decoration

  • using a pastry bag, decorate the pie with some mascarpone and frozen berries of your choice. We used raspberries. 

Notes

If you don't have 100% Stevia or Monk fruit extract, adjust the amount of sweetener to your taste, but try not to use anything else except Stevia, Monk fruit or Erythritol based sweeteners.
