  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch Thickening agent for smooth consistency.
  • 3/4 cup sugar Balances the tartness of the lemons.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Crush the Biscoff cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form.
  2. Mix in the melted coconut oil until blended and moist.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom of a tart pan and freeze for 15-20 minutes.
Filling
  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, whisk together the coconut cream, coconut milk, and sugar.
  2. Once warmed, dissolve the cornstarch in cold water and add to the saucepan, whisking continuously.
  3. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, turmeric, and vanilla extract.
Chill & Garnish
  1. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes, then pour into the crust.
  2. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  3. Garnish with fresh raspberries, lemon slices, edible flowers, and basil leaves before serving.

Notes

Ensure the filling cools slightly before pouring it onto the crust to avoid melting the crust. Chilling overnight enhances the flavors.
