It didn’t take long for my friends to become addicted either. When I finally realized Lemon Curd wasn’t some weird combination of cheese, milk and lemon but rather a silky smooth lemon custard, perfectly balanced between tart and sweet, I was hooked. If I had had any idea how good it tasted, or if she had told me it was called lemon pudding instead of curd, I’m sure I would have been polishing it off by the bowl full. I admit that the first time she made lemon curd I refused to taste it, which had nothing to do with how it looked or smelt, it was just something about the word curd that really put me off. When I was growing up, my Mom used to make massive batches of lemon and lime curd every summer. These tarts are Paleo, Grain Free, Gluten Free, and Specific Carbohydrate Legal. They are a great make ahead dessert and the lemon curd can be frozen up to 4 month in advance. So, here's a question for you - how often do you eat treats on the Paleo diet? I would love for you to comment and let me know how often you eat Paleo desserts and I would also love to know if you like this recipe.These Lemon Curd Tarts have an almond flour shell, are filled with a zesty lemon curd and topped with fresh berries. It is a much healthier mindset, and consequently, I am a much happier person :). Now I scour the internet to see what others are eating, so I can get some new ideas (and because I find it interesting). I had to find what worked for me through trial and error. I used to scour the internet to see what others were eating, and then try to replicate their exact meals, and guess what…it didn’t work. It is what works for me, and I know there are many out there that do much better with a small treat every day to help keep them on track. I do much better, and feel much better when I eat treats every once in a while, rather than every day. #2 - When I do eat an occasional treat, it's usually to test them for this blog or for a special occasion and I don't usually eat them in public. Two reasons - #1 I don't eat non-Paleo treats ever. I was asked this question the other day, “do you ever eat treats?” The answer to that is, of course, I do, but if you were watching me eat in public, it looks like I don’t. This crisp is LOADED with blueberries, which I think is fabulous…but if you like a more even blueberry to crust ratio, feel free to decrease the filling ingredients by half and watch your baking time. It is made with all-natural ingredients, is Paleo and Vegan-friendly, is full of all sorts of nutrients and antioxidants, and tastes divine (not to mention it helps stall winter)!!! Regardless of your motives, I highly recommend you whip up this super-simple and delicious crispy dessert. I think I am stalling winter – at least for a little while. I LOVE fall, but fall means winter is just around the corner…and I don’t love winter…so I like to hang on to summer as long as possible, just to stall winter! In my attempts to stall winter, I made this super delicious summertime dessert – – and guess what, I think it is working. Second, I am not ready to give up on summer. First, being a parent of a student is more work than being a student (at least I think it is :)? It would seriously be so much easier to do college-level homework than to try to get my children to do their homework…don't we (as adults) graduate from school so we would be done with homework…forever :). School has started, and I am not happy about it on so many levels. You'll love the contrast of the tart, soft blueberries with the crispy, slightly sweet almond flour and nut crust. In the summer, you can use fresh blueberries and the rest of the year, use frozen blueberries and think back on all the lazy days of summer. This Paleo blueberry crisp is wonderful at any time of the year.
