Allergen Free/gluten Free Lemon Tart

Allergen Free Lemon Tart

I made these tarts for a birthday party for me and my sister-in-law, and they turned out great! No gluten, soy, egg, dairy or nuts. Lots of fresh fruit and tart-sweet lemon makes it a great summer treat. I served it with fresh whipped cream, for those who could have it. I made this up entirely from scratch, so it may need a little more or a little less flour...add it a bit at a time until it's the consistency of cookie dough. The shell is slightly chewy and a cross between a cookie and a pie crust.

Ingredients:

1 cup non-soy, non-dairy margarine

2 cups fructose or sugar

1 cup rice flour

1 cup tapioca flour

1 tsp. xanthan gum

2 tbsp. lemon zest

2 tsp. lemon extract

2 tsp. poppy seeds

Cream sugar and butter. Mix dry ingredients and add a little at a time until your dough is a cookie dough consistency. Add lemon zest, extract, and poppy seeds and blend well. Spread into 2 tart pans, pressing into the pans so that there is a raised rim around the tarts, and cook at 350 for 20 minutes or until set and slightly brown around the edges. Take out of oven, let cool.

Topping:

1 can lemon filling or one jar lemon curd (check for allergens)

Fresh fruit: I used strawberries, gold kiwi, kiwi, mango, blueberries and kumquats.

Whipped cream (optional)

Put it Together:

Once the tart is cool, spread the lemon curd or topping over each shell. Arrange the fruit in a pattern around each tart. I started about an inch in from the edge of the tarts with mango slices, and then arranged the rest in concentric rows. Thinly sliced kumquats really added to this recipe...they are sweet/sour and complement the lemon flavor.

OH MY GOSH!!! I just went to your blog to see the pics... Can I just say YUM?! I'm drooling over the pictures!!! Makes me want to immediately run out and buy a tart pan so I can try this!

I also saw the pic of the boy (your son, I assume?) with the Coke can... gave me an out-loud guffaw. :P I needed that tonight.

We had lemon bars at church the other day. They were so good. I have never made them before. Thanks for the gluten-free recipe they sound so yummy!

LOL thanks! Hey, you could make the tart in a pie pan if you wanted to, I don't think there would be any difference. Or better yet if you have a spring form pan (like for a cheese cake) you could bake the shell in that, and then take it out and decorate it.

Yeah, that's my boy....he looks like such a wild man in that photo! Coke is terrible for acid reflux and I am certain that he suffered for it later on, but as you can see he enjoyed it while it lasted!

ok so i made Lemon Bars the other day using a recipe from "Barefoot Contessa" on the food network, but adapting it to be gluten free. For each cup of flour in the recipe, i substituted a gluten free mix (1.5c brown rice flour, 1.5c potato starch, 1c tapioca flour). The only thing I would have done differently is to add 1 tsp of xanthan gum to the lemon filling as it was not as firm as i would have liked it to be. with that being said, these things were DELICIOUS!!!!!!!

here's the recipe:

      It's possible, as there are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:    Also, approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Perhaps you could bring you own? Not sure, but worth a try.

      I received my ANA test results - negative.  I'm thinking it was infection, was put on antibiotics for suspected sibo at the time blood test was taken. Significant improvements from taking them even while eating gluten.

      Thanks again. I've actually convinced my local butcher shop to start carrying Ghostfish gluten-free beer. It's not bad! But you won't often find it at a ski lodge.

      Villi damage is caused by celiac disease, which does not happen in NCGS, although some people with NCGS do have elevated antibody levels. Some people with NCGS who have the genes for celiac disease may end up developing celiac disease, so in some people NCGS may be a precursor to celiac disease, but more research needs to be done on NCGS. Both low iron and vitamin D are common symptoms of celiac disease. Also, regarding beer:
