No-Bake Lemon Tart with Lemon Poppyseed Rbar Crust | Dairy, Gluten, & Grain Free
March 14 is a favorite day for many… probably because it is Pi-Day! Any day that I can combine my love of food and math is a reason to celebrate!
If you follow along with me on Instagram and Facebook, you’ve probably seen my love for Rbar a time or two. You may have even been one of the lucky few to receive a free box of them!
Rbars are simple ingredient energy bars that are some of my favorite convenience snacks to keep on hand! Their bars are made with 7 ingredients or less. That’s right, ONLY SEVEN AT THE MOST!
What’s even better about these bars is that they can double for a quick crust for pies, tarts, or cheesecakes. Seriously, who doesn’t love eliminating an entire step of a recipe?!
When I first tasted Rbar’s Lemon Poppyseed flavor, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with a bunch of them. I’m not normally a big lemon fan, but these bars, and now this tart have changed my mind about all things lemon – it’s just so refreshing!
This No-Bake Lemon Tart is super easy to make and – BONUS, NO BAKING IS INVOLVED! For my tart, I frosted it with a dairy-free cool whip, but you could use regular cool whip or totally omit it. Your tart will still be creamy, tangy, and delicious!

Servings |

- 3/4 cup Chopped raw cashews soak for 30 minutes prior(optional*)
- 1/4 cup Coconut oil melted
- 1/2 cup Coconut cream
- 2-3 tbsp Honey depending on sweetness desired
- 3 tbsp Fresh lemon juice

Ingredients
|
|
- Between two sheets of parchment paper, lay out the Rbars in a honeycomb shape.**
- With a rolling pin, roll out the bars until about 1/4-1/3" inch thick.
- Transfer the crust into a pie or tart pan and press down into the pan and along the sides.
- In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine the remaining ingredients until completely smooth.
- Pour the lemon filling into the crust and spread out evenly.
- Top with cool whip.
- Freeze for 45 minutes or until firm. You could also refrigerate your tart overnight.
- Enjoy this Lemon Tart frozen or thawed. Both ways are delicious!
*Soaking the cashews softens them, therefore, making them blend up easier.
**You can skip steps 1-2 and just press the bars into a pan by hand. I just find that rolling them out, yields a more even crust.

That was a really good recipe !! I will try the crust with Rbars next time didn’t have any on hand so I just eyeballed a go to grain free crust I know and trust using dates ,
pecans and shredded coconut first in my food processor. The bars are a great quicker way I will do next time , I appreciate the share 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you so much, Amanda! That crust sounds like it went perfectly with it though! The bars are just convenient, but by no means necessary! I’m glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
