If you’re craving light and refreshing flavors, surely lemon is a go-to ingredient. During the late fall and early winter months, the lemon’s slightly sweeter and less acidic cousin, Meyer Lemon, will be readily available. Although regular lemons will do just fine, Meyer lemons make for a vibrant dessert with a little less pucker and accented with fruity bursts of fresh blueberries. The lemony filling sits atop a sturdy, healthful crust of TeeChia that sings the spicy berry notes of cordyceps schisandra. Enjoy with some iced Teeccino out on the terrace! What a treat!

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  2. Combine 1 14 oz can of full fat coconut cream and ¼ cup honey in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and reduce the cream mixture by half; about 30-40 minutes. Make sure to periodically stir the reduction so that it doesn’t burn. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes before using. If using premade sweetened condensed milk, skip this step.
  3. Brew a strong mug of Teeccino Cordyceps Schisandra and set aside.
  4. Mix together the first 8 ingredients then press the mixture into an 8” x 8” glass baking dish.
  5. Bake the crust for 20-30 minutes until cooked through and starting to brown on the edges.
  6. Once the crust is done and coconut reduction is slightly cooled, mix together the remaining ingredients.
  7. Pour the filling mixture into the baked crust then return to the oven to bake for another 20-25 minutes, until set.
  8. Once cooled, cut into 12 equal slices and enjoy!
