LEMON BARS

These well-loved bars will certainly make your mouth pucker! They're tart yet sweet and perfect for your next casual gathering. The crust is par-baked to prevent sogginess and create that wonderfully crisp bite that contrasts perfectly with the creamy lemon filling. Pouring the lemon mixture over the still-hot crust is another must-do step that prevents it from becoming too wet. Additionally, after baking, be sure to let them cool completely so that the bars are sturdy enough for eating. There is a small amount of cornstarch in confectioners' sugar that helps thicken the filling thicken in addition to adding sweetness.

8 Tbsp Regular butter about 1/2 cup (1 stick), cold, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 large egg(s) Egg(s)
0.5 tsp Vanilla extract

Sprinkle crust mixture onto bottom of ungreased 13 X 9 X 2-inch baking pan as evenly as possible; firmly press down with spatula to create a packed surface. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, to make lemon topping, beat eggs in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until well blended. Add vanilla extract and 3/4 cup of confectioners' sugar; mix well. Add lemon juice and zest and remaining confectioners' sugar; mix until sugar is completely dissolved..
As soon as crust is baked, remove from oven and reduce oven temperature to 300°F. Immediately pour lemon mixture over hot crust. Bake until filling is set, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut lengthwise into 3 strips, then cut each strip crosswise into 8 bars, making total of 24 bars.
Per serving: 1 bar

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 can(s) of low fat or fat free sweetened condensed milk
2 large eggs
1/2 c fresh lemon juice
1 zested lemon (yellow part only
1 graham cracker pie crust, or 6 individual cups

Steps:

1. Mix milk and eggs. Add lemon juice and zest; stir until blended, and pour into graham cracker crust(s).
2. Bake at 350 (preheated) for 20 minutes.

Tips:

To save time, use a pre-made pie crust. Look for one that is low in calories and fat.
If you are using fresh lemons, zest them before juicing them. This will help to release the oils in the zest, which will give your tarts a more intense lemon flavor.
Do not overfill the tart shells. The filling will rise as it bakes, so leave a little bit of room at the top.
Bake the tarts until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. This will usually take about 25-30 minutes.
Let the tarts cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to firm up and will make them easier to slice.
