Yes ofcourse! Sorry for the slow response - I didn't see this!
Base:
130g butter
6 tablespoons splenda
pinch of salt
220g ground almonds
2 eggs
Mix the butter, splenda, salt and ground almonds with your fingers to make a sticky dough, then mix in one egg. Refrigerate this for 15 minutes, whilst setting the oven to 180 degrees.
After 15 minutes, line the pastry dish with the dough – just press it down with your hands! Don’t try to roll it as the dough will be too sticky. And don’t be tempted to add any more almonds – it’s meant to be sticky. Make sure you go up the sides of the dish.
Cook this for 20 mins. Then brush with the remaining egg, and cook for a further 4 mins. Take out and leave to cool, turn the oven down to 110 degrees.
Filling:
4 eggs
Juice and zest of 4 (small) lemons
16 tablespoons splenda
130g double cream (I actually use Weight Watchers)
Beat the eggs with the splenda till it dissolves, then stir in the lemon juice and zest and the double cream. Fill your pastry case with the filling, then bake at 110 for 45 minutes. Leave to cool, and serve! (Really nice with raspberries!)
