Preheat oven to 200u00b0C (400u00b0F) and grease a 9 x 11 inch pie pan.

Blitz nuts and seeds in a blender until quite fine. Add arrowroot, gluten-free flour, salt, coconut oil, honey and cold water and blitz again until mixture comes together.
4
Press the mixture evenly into base of pie pan. Bake for 6 minutes. Remove crust from the oven and allow to cool until lukewarm in pan on a wire rack before pouring in lemon filling. Reduce oven temperature to 150u00b0C (300u00b0F)

For the filling:

In a bowl, whisk eggs, egg yolks and coconut cream. Whisk in arrowroot, vanilla extract, lemon juice and honey until smooth and creamy. Carefully pour onto the cooled crust. The mixture will be quite thin but don't worry, just get it in the oven and it will set beautifully! Bake for a further 30 minutes or until filling is set.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
