BOTTLED LEMON JUICE VERSUS FRESH LEMON JUICE

While the ingredients list doesn’t specify to use the juice of a fresh lemon over bottled lemon juice, I almost always opt for the former – fresh lemon juice from the original source will always provide more flavor to the finished product. 

If you’re in a real pinch then you can use bottled lemon juice but otherwise fresh lemon juice from the citrus fruit itself is best!

HOW TO MAKE MINI LEMON CURD TARTS

Add almonds, cashews, coconut, oats and salt to a food processor. Process until it is roughly a flour consistency.

Then, while processing, slowly add the coconut oil, maple syrup and water.

Press the dough into silicone or regular (lightly greased) muffin molds, pressing it down to form cup shapes with your fingers.
