Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

16 1/2 oz (1 roll) refrigerated sugar cookies
1 c jar lemon curd or use your own
3 oz pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c marshmallow creme
6 oz container fat free french vanilla yogurt
1 c thawed whipped topping

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350^. Grease or spray a 13x9-inch baking pan. In pan , break up cookie dough with your fingers, press dough evenly in bottom of pan to form a crust- with a 1/2 inch edge all around. (I use a piece of plastic wrap or a baggie on my hand to do this.) Bake 15-20 minutes or until edges are golden brown and center is set. Cool 30 minutes. Spread lemon curd over completely cooled crust. In a large bowl beat cream cheese, marshmallow and yogurt with a wooden spoon until well blended. Fold in thawed whipped cream. Spread over the curd, swirling to resemble meringue. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until serving time. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Store in refrigerator.

These bars were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but they still tasted good.

These bars were a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's because I used fresh lemon juice. Next time I'll use bottled lemon juice instead.

I had some trouble getting the meringue to spread evenly over the filling, but it still tasted delicious.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a store-bought lemon curd that was already sweetened.

I added a few drops of yellow food coloring to the filling to make it look more like lemon meringue pie.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover egg whites.

I love that this recipe uses a mock meringue. It's so much easier than making a traditional meringue and it still tastes delicious.

These bars were a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved them. The crust was nice and flaky, and the filling was smooth and creamy. I would recommend using less lemon juice next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the bars turned out perfectly. The crust was golden brown and the filling was light and fluffy. The meringue was a little too sweet for my taste, but overall these bars were a hit with my family.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon meringue pie, but these bars were surprisingly delicious. The crust was crispy and the filling was creamy and tart. I loved the toasted meringue topping.

These mock lemon meringue bars were a delightful surprise! The crust was perfectly buttery and flaky, and the filling was light and fluffy with a delightful tang. My family loved these bars and requested them for dessert again soon.
