Kiwi squares



When you have too many kiwis in the house and you don't really like to eat them, this is what you do.    These are similar to lemon squares but they are green (think Christmas here...)  The original recipe was quite sweet so I reduced the amount of sugar and added more kiwis... Also, this is a gluten-free version but you can replace the flours with regular all-purpose flour.  Enjoy!

Crust:
1 cup gluten-free flour (I used a Schar GF flour)
6 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 cup (50 grs) almond flour
1/4 cup (40 grs) brown rice flour
12 tablespoons (150 grs) unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces
Large pinch of salt

Filling:
4 ripe kiwis
3 eggs
1 cup (200 grs) granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
A pinch of salt

Preheat the oven to 350ºF or 175ºC.  In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, process all the ingredients for the crust until it resembles a coarse meal.  Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish, lined with parchment paper.  Pat the mixture into an even crust.


Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.  While the crust is baking prepare the filling.  Place all the ingredients in the bowl of the food processor (no need to wash it).  Process until almost smooth.  

Transfer to the baking dish on top of the crust and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until set.


Cool completely and refrigerate.  Cut into small squares and serve.  Makes about 48 small squares.

(May be made the day before and ket refrigerated until ready to serve)
