Tips:

  • For the perfect balance of tart and sweet, use a combination of regular lemons and Meyer lemons.
  • To make sure the lemon bars are gooey and not too firm, don't overbake them. They should still have a slight jiggle in the center when you take them out of the oven.
  • For a cleaner cut, chill the lemon bars completely before slicing them.
  • If you don't have a lemon zester, you can use a microplane grater to get the lemon zest.
  • Store the lemon bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These iced lemon bars are the perfect summer dessert. They're tart, sweet, and gooey, with a refreshing lemon flavor. They're also easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing dessert, give these iced lemon bars a try.
