How to Make Healthy Lemon Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare your pie crust (use your favorite recipe or store-bought).
  3. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, sweetener, cornstarch, and salt.
  4. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the eggs one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition.
  6. Gradually whisk in the melted coconut oil until smooth.
  7. Pour the lemon filling into the prepared pie crust.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly.
  9. Let cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 4 hours (or preferably overnight) to allow the filling to set completely.
  10. Garnish with fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving (optional).
