Instructions

    1.
    To make the base, add the ground almonds, butter, coconut oil, cup of xylitol and salt to a food processor.
    2.
    Pulse to combine, forming a chunky crumb.
    3.
    Transfer the crumb mix to a loose-bottomed cake tin (around 15cm) and press down firmly and evenly. Place the cake tin in the fridge to firm the base while you make the topping.
    4.
    Add the remaining xylitol to a food processor and blend on a high speed setting until it forms a fine powder. Add the cream cheese and powdered xylitol to a large mixing bowl and beat together until smooth.
    5.
    Add the cream to the cheese and whisk together to combine. Add the lemon juice and the zest and whisk vigorously until thick and smooth.
    6.
    Remove the cake tin from the fridge and spoon over the creamy topping. Level the mixture so that it is smooth and even and transfer to the fridge to set for at least 5 hours, ideally overnight.
    7.
    Serve with the remaining zest scattered over the top.
