Time 3h30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons lemon zest
⅛ teaspoon salt
¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
1 ⅓ cups white sugar
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup lemon juice
4 large eggs
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and salt for crust in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to combine. Add butter and oil and pulse until incorporated and crumbly. Press into an 8-inch square baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • While crust is baking, place berries into the food processor and process until smooth. Strain mixture to remove seeds, then transfer berry puree to a bowl with white sugar, flour, lemon juice, eggs, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • Remove crust from the oven and immediately pour filling mixture over top. Return to the oven and bake until filling is just set, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Place in the refrigerator until chilled, about 2 hours. Dust with powdered sugar and cut into 16 bars.

I'm allergic to strawberries, so I used raspberries instead. They were still delicious!

The crust was a little too hard for my liking, but the filling was delicious.

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These strawberry lemon bars were a hit! The combination of sweet and tart was perfect, and the crust was flaky and delicious. I will definitely be making these again.
