Gluten-Free French Lemon Tart

This Gluten-Free French Lemon Tart is fresh, zesty, ultra-creamy, and shockingly easy to make. With a buttery, nutty, flaky crust and a melt-in-your-mouth lemon filling, it’s everything you want in a classic French dessert, minus the gluten and the fuss.

Five Ingredients, One Blender, Zero Stress

The filling of this lemon tart is almost suspiciously simple. You only need five naturally gluten-free ingredients—so no gluten anxiety needed. And here’s the magic trick: Throw everything into a high-speed blender and hit blend. That’s it. No whisking, no double boiler, no drama.

The Gluten-Free Crust That Won’t Crumble on You

Now let’s talk crust—because every great tart deserves a great base. This one calls for a trio of flours:

• Almond flour

• Rice flour

• Sweet sorghum flour

Plus a little arrowroot starch for that perfect texture. Mix your dry ingredients, cut in the butter, add your wet ingredients, and bring it all together. Form a dough disk, pop it in the fridge for a quick 20-minute chill, and you’re halfway there.

Once the dough is chilled, roll it out and press it into your tart pan (one with a removable bottom, so you don’t have to wrestle it out later). Pour in your silky filling and get ready to bake.

Bake, Chill, and… Wait Overnight (Trust Me)

After baking, let your tart cool and then refrigerate it overnight. I know, waiting is hard. But the next day?
You’ll be rewarded with the most luscious, dreamy Gluten-Free French Lemon Tart. Worth. Every. Second.

Dairy-Free? No Problem—Make the Tropical Twin

Want a dairy-free version that tastes just as incredible? Easy. Follow the same steps as above, but swap the butter for coconut cream (not coconut milk!). Make sure the coconut cream is melted before mixing it into the filling. You’ll get the same silky texture, the same bright lemon flavour, but with a whisper of tropical magic. It’s honestly SO GOOD!
