In this article, we’ll talk about what makes creamy lemon squares so delicious and easy to make at home. So put on your apron and let’s dive into the world of these delicious lemon sweets!
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cold, plus more for the pan
- 2/3 cup almond flour or ground walnuts (your preference)
- 1 cup (4 ounces) graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1 tablespoon grated lime peel
For the filling:
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 5 medium limes)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 medium lemon)
How to do it:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush an 8-inch square pan with melted butter. (This step is important because it will allow you to easily remove the parchment later.) Line the bottom with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on both sides.
- To make the crust, mix the almond flour and ground walnuts with the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and zest. Stir in the butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of the prepared pan. Bake until lightly browned, 8 to 12 minutes. Let the crust cool, 30 minutes.
- To prepare the filling, in a large bowl mix the egg yolks and condensed milk. Then add the lemon juice and lemon juice and mix until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and spread it carefully to the edges. Add until it settles, about 15 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a rack, then chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Using a piece of parchment paper, remove from the pan and transfer to a board. Using a serrated knife, cut into 16 squares, wipe the knife with a damp cloth between each cut.
- Enjoy your meal!
