Our Best-Ever low Calorie Lemon Coconut Tart with fresh Kiwi Topping



This is the best healthy Lemon Tart with Coconut that I made for a Dinner Party and everyone enjoyed, appreciated and commented positively about the taste and texture of this special Tart that I made without Butter or Egg. Even with a healthy weight, I still understand the benefits of cutting down on Calories. Mixing whole wheat Flour with our usual All purpose Flour is healthier and not noticeable in the Crust, the texture is still the same and substituting with Coconut Oil instead of Butter is perfect. I used Lemon Juice for the Crust instead of Water. I usually bake my Crust with Lemon Juice and Orange Juice because of the natural taste and flavours of these two nutritious Fruits and I have never regretted it for once. The texture is still perfect with added flavors and nutrients.
