This gluten-free Pomegranate Tart with Hibiscus, Lemon, and Almond Flour Crust is a delightful combination of tangy and sweet flavors. The hibiscus-infused pomegranate filling adds a unique floral note, complemented by the zesty lemon and nutty almond flour crust.
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups almond flour. 1/4 cup melted coconut oil. 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup. 1 tablespoon lemon zest. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup dried hibiscus flowers. 1 cup pomegranate juice. 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup. 2 tablespoons lemon juice. 2 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water. 1 cup fresh pomegranate arils, for garnish.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C. In a bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, lemon zest, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. Press the dough into a tart pan, covering the bottom and up the sides. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Let it cool completely. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine dried hibiscus flowers, pomegranate juice, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for another 1-2 minutes until thickened. Strain the hibiscus-pomegranate mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. Pour the filling into the cooled tart crust. Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, until set. Before serving, garnish with fresh pomegranate arils. Slice and enjoy!
