Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350
degrees F and grease an 8×8 baking dish with non-stick spray. - First, prepare the crust: In a
large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugar substitute. Using an electric mixer
beat until well-combined and fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg and mix again.
Then add the almond flour and salt. Mix until everything is incorporated. - Add chopped walnuts and
transfer to the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Bake for
10-15 minutes or just until the edges begin to brown. - Set it aside to completely
cool before assembling the dessert. - While the crust is baking
begin to prepare the lemon layer. - In a medium mixing bowl, cream
together the butter and sugar substitute with an electric mixer until light and
fluffy. - Add the eggs, one at a time
while mixing on low speed, then add yolks. Continue to beat on low for another
minute or two. The mixture should be smooth and creamy. - Then add the lemon juice and
continue to beat on low speed until incorporated. At this point, you are going
to think that I have to lead you astray. The mixture will look lumpy and
broken, but keep going. - Transfer the mixture to a
medium sized saucepan and place over low heat. Whisk until the mixture is
heated through and no longer has a curdled appearance. - Increase the heat to medium
and stir constantly, using a rubber spatula being sure to also scrape the
bottom and sides of the saucepan, until the mixture thickened to a pudding-like
texture. - Remove from heat, sprinkle the
Xanthan Gum on top and whisk it into the lemon mixture. - Transfer the mixture to a dish
and place it in the fridge to cool before assembling the dessert. - While the crust and the lemon
layer are chilling, prepare the second layer: In a large mixing bowl, combine
the Neufchatel cheese and the powdered sugar substitute. Beat with an electric
mixer until well combined then add the Lemon extract and sour cream. Beat again
until well combined, then add the heavy cream and continue mixing until the
mixture is smooth and creamy. - Next, prepare the whipped
cream layer by combining the heavy cream, powdered sugar substitute, and
vanilla in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until the
mixture has nearly doubled in size and formed soft peaks. Sprinkle with the
xantham gum and continue beating until the mixture forms stiff peaks. - To assemble the dessert, top
the cooled crust with the second Neufchatel cheese layer, smoothing into an
even flat layer. Top the Neufchatel layer with the completely cooled lemon
layer and smooth. Lastly, top with the whipped cream layer. - Chill until ready to eat.
