Lemon Squares

Ingredients

• For the crust
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (about 3.4 oz)
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
• 3 tablespoons avocado oil
• 1 tablespoon cold water
• Cooking spray

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 large eggs
• 1 large egg white
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 350°F.
2. Pulse the flour, powdered sugar and pine nuts in a food processor. Add the oil and water and pulse 3 to 5 times, until it looks like coarse meal.
3. Press the mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Lower the oven to 325°F.
4. Whisk the sugar, allulose, flour, lemon rind, lemon juice, eggs and egg white until smooth. Pour over the crust.
5. Bake at 325°F for 20 minutes, until set. Cool completely in the pan, then cover and chill at least 2 hours.
6. Dust with the powdered sugar and cut into 16 squares.
