Instructions






  1. Preheat the oven to 350
    degrees F and grease an 8×8 baking dish with non-stick spray.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Set it aside to completely
    cool before assembling the dessert.

  5. While the crust is baking
    begin to prepare the lemon layer.

  6. In a medium mixing bowl, cream
    together the butter and sugar substitute with an electric mixer until light and
    fluffy.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. Remove from heat, sprinkle the
    Xanthan Gum on top and whisk it into the lemon mixture.

  12. Transfer the mixture to a dish
    and place it in the fridge to cool before assembling the dessert.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. Chill until ready to eat.
